Yes: Rhogam is given tio rh neg mothers to protect an rh pos bby. If you are rh neg, you should have received Rhogam after your miscarriages.

You are Rh negative: The Rhogam shot helps prevent the fetus, who may be rh positive, from triggering a reaction in your body if/when small amounts of fetal blood enter your system.Your body could develop antibodies that would break down the babies blood & place him/her in danger.The shot blocks that. In the 3+ decades it has been used it has been quite effective at keeping babies healthy.
