a Shot For Matching Blood Posted: 05-20-06 16:33pm
Hi there I was just wondering if neone had
ever had the shot where the blood types
of u n ur hunni dont match and have
problems widt the baby and had to get a
shot to make everything in the pregnancy
go right im sorri if this sounds
confusings but I was just curious becuz me
n my hunni might not have matching blood
types and I might have to get a shot to
make the pregnancy go right and that could
also be why im bleeding so much :s

Yea, I had to have on before birth and
after she was born.
My blood type is .A- and my .Fiance's was
positive. She was born .A+ so I had to
have another shot.
The shot is called .Rhogam and you
normally get it in the hip or butt. It's
not serious if you have the shot. Not
getting the shot could cause your red
blood cells to attack your baby's. And a
transfusion could be necessary if you
don't receive one.
Good .Luck,
sarah

I had to have that shot as well. One
before my baby was born, and one after. I
forget how many weeks I was when I got the
first one, and that one was in my arm.
It's no more painful than any other shot.
But when I know I have to get one, I sit
and think about how much it's gonna
hurt...When the day comes to get it, it's
really not that bad. Then the one I had
after she was born the nurse just jabbed
me in the hip. No warning, no nothing.
That pissed me off. And yes that one hurt
like hell.

Hey ashlee, my friend had a baby not long
ago and she had to get that shot.. . I
was in the hospital with her when she got
it, and the nurse put it in her butt
(awkward for me eh?). She said "ooooh
owww! That hurts!" when it went in but
she didn't scream or cry or anything like
that. I think it all depends on how well
you handle shots and pain. Good luck hun!
