Needs monitoring: The presence of antibodies may or may not impact the current pregnancy. As long as the OB is aware of them & monitors their levels, a plan for appropriate care can be made.This is not as common as it was before Rhogam but still show up with some frequency.Sounds like time for a conversation with the ob.
