If you are talking about the rogam shot for .R.H factor, you would be a-

and I am pretty sure it is either in the butt or in the arm. I am not sure. My briother and his wife .R.H factor, my daughter .R.H factor

Hehe I had to get the rhogam shot, and yes sadly its in the butt :wink:

Oh, ouch lol
i had my appointment today and was supposed to get my shot, but they wanted me to get a flu shot. So they did the flu shot today and I go back in a week to get my other shot. So I asked if they were going to do it in the same arm, or my other arm....And she said they could do it in either of my arms since the soreness would be gone by the time I come back. So I hope I get it in the arm!!!! Thanks for your reply tho!

ps i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's in my arm and the nurse didn't want to tell my it was in the butt! Lol

Yay!! I finally had to get my shot, but I got it in the arm instead of the butt! I just thought i'd share my joy after so much worry! Lol

I think its in the butt!....I might have to get a shot in the butt something to do with me and my bf diferant blood types

The shot is only given to women who have a negative blood type. Because the negative factor is so rare is why it's given. Also because if the baby is a positive factor the negative antibodies will begin to attack the baby's positive.

I am a(-) and need the shot as well. My doctor said that if the father was a negative as well I would have no problems. But of course...He's not.

And the location of the shot all depends on your doctor..So I might get it in the arm as where you get it in the rear hip(butt).

Babymaj, I just had an appointment and my doctore said that since I am a and I have to get one here pretty soon and any shot they can give you in the butt they can give you in the arm, it all goes in the same place.

Maybe it's the type of a that needs the shot. Although my mom was o(-) and had to receive the shot. Anywhoo..I hate needles.

I am planning on a natural childbirth..(as in no epidural.)lol..I am going to schedule one in case of an emergency though. They are ectremely hard to receive if you're not scheduled and I don't want an emergency one! I'm looking into doullas to help me relax during the birth as well.

I know that it's going to be extreemely painful but so far no one has been positive about my decision! Thousands of women do it everyday and have no problem so what's the difference. My doc is not one to push the epidural on his patients due to they can't feel anything and it kind of makes his job harder.
