It might be easier it you have a small baby but I don't think child birth is ever easy. Also just because you are small doesn't mean that the baby will be. Some ppl get a surprise. I want to tell you that you did a smart thing about getting prenatal vitamins. I went to my first docotr visit a little over 3 months and all they told me to do before hand is take them.What state do you live in? I live in alabama. I wish I could help you. I feel so bad. I wish I lived near you where I could help you do something.

I'm so afraid because no one can actually help me. I hadn't talked about it before now, but things have just been building up for me and I knew that I needed to talk about it. This is something that no one should have to go through alone, but that's exactly what I have to do. It feels better already just to be able to talk about it. I've never talked about being pregnant with anyone before. It's such a strange experience. I have so many questions that i'm afraid no one can answer. I wish I could talk to my mother about this, but there's no way that's possible.

Do you have any kind of messenger? Sp we can could talk more privately and quickly on. If you have questions I might have answers. I am really interested in helping you out in some way I know what you are going through I have been there to some degree to. I'm here when you need to talk.

Hey, I have aim. My screenname is airyella. It would be awesome if we could talk once in awhile. I have so many questions and fears about this baby right now. I feel like i've been holding it back for so long that everything is just exploding out. I hope I can figure out how to fix my situation.

I'm gonna have to download it again b/c it is messed up. But I will take to you as soon as it done. Talk to ya then.

What is fh factor?

Im a rh negative which is like one of the most rare blood types and I didnt tell anyone I was pregnant for 4 mnths and I didnt know myself for 2 months so I wasnt careful at all and I had the anti-d shot in my arm at 28weeks and again at 34weeks but my babys fine and is due next thurs so its not a big problem
good luck

my bf and I were both 6lb something and we're not huge people and my son is huge!!!

I have ab- blood

so I of course had to get the rhogam shot in my 27 week and it was fine. My butt was a bit sore but that was about it.

Luckily enough I didn't have to get it again after my son was born because his blood was said to be ab- as well.

I am told now though I may not need this shot again in upcoming pregnancies, but I plan to anyway, I dont' want to take any chances.



it's rh factor and all it means is that your blood type is negative

if it is negative, there is a chance of your body building up antibodies to attack baby if the baby doesn't have the rh factor. Though this usually only occurs in pregnancies after having a baby with no rh factor. You have to get a shot in the 26-28 week of pregnancy and then again 72 hours after giving birth to a baby with no rh factor.
You are also said to have to get it after miscarriages and abortions if you have the rh factor.

Whoa. Ok ariella, stop being stupid. Planned parenthood is just about everywhere. If you have a compter, you can do a websearch. Maybe they are at Plannedparenthood.Com also church officials can be very helpful. I had a friend that went to an unwed home for mothers (she was 14 at the time in the early 80's). The baby was then adopted to a great family, and she gets photos every birthday and gets an annual visit. She's now a doctor, and has two children.

That said.....Rh negative mommies with rh positive babies can have serious complications. They really don't know what the babies blood type is until it is born.


What happens is your body can fight the baby like it's a virus or cancer, which will make you extremely sick. The baby can die at birth. It used to be called "blue baby syndrome". Back in the 1940's when my mother was born, there was no "shot" or quick fix. My grandma had two stillborn births after my mother. It's pretty serious.



I also have to add, rhogam used to have thimerasol added to it. It's a mercury based preservative. Mercury can cause autism, add and other serious nerological defects. I hate to break it to you girls, the flu shot has thimerasol! I am 28 weeks, and due for a rhogam shot.

You may not know, but you can get a "titer" test. It shows whether or not your body is fighting the baby. Rhogam is made from human plasma. In other words, you are getting a dose of someone else's blood. I read up on the bayer website about this, including the product insert info card (like 10 pages long!). Although they do screen the blood product the shot is crafted from. There is a note about possibly contracting hiv or hepatitis c from it. They do screen, but there's always human error. Yikes.


Fyi.....I just found out the rhogam shot is going to cost me about $400. Nice being a rare blood type. Not!
