Good question.: There is no right or wrong answer. Maternal sensitization would be very rare this early since fetal circulation is barely established. Some practitioners may recommend a 50 microgram dose, while others may not believe it's needed at all. Accurate dating of the pregnancy is very important. Sit down with your doctor and make an informed decision together. Good luck!
