Term preg likely: Unless the mother has previously been sensitized and has antibodies, an RH - mother can carry an Rh+ baby to term. Rhogam is a product given to the mother usually at 28 weeks to reduce the likelihood of developing antibodies and then again after birth if the baby is Rh+. Multiple doses have been given over the past and have been found to be safe for the infant and give protection to the mother.

Antibodies: As long as Mom has no antibodies against the Rh + blood group she should experience a normal pregnancy. She needs to be under the care of a specialist to monitor her for antibodies and to make sure she gets routine required shots. Rh disease is totally preventable if managed appropriately. All the best.
