RH Sensitization
Having Rh Negative blood (rH-) is not really a disease, but it can create a pathological condition applicable to pregnancy. This pathological condition is a disease unique to pregnancy (and careless transfusions).

I am pregnant with my fifth child and am RH-. I have always had rhogam in the past, but this time am questioning it. I did not know until my last pregnancy that it was a blood product...so that made me think a lot more about it.
They had drawn my blood and discoverd that I was RH negative. So they gave me a Rhogam shot. They said that I would need to go back to get my HCG levels re drawn in 2 days. I did.
Amniocentesis can also reveal whether the mother or baby is RH-negative, and whether the baby's lungs are mature enough for him to be born if a caesarean section is being considered.
I was told at my doctors visit 2 weeks ago that when the lab did my blood work, for some reason they forgot to do my RH factor blood test. I am concerned that if I am RH- and baby is RH+ what does this mean so far into pregnancy. I am very concerned.
