A member asked:

Is it safe to get rhogam shot after 28 weeks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

After delivery: In this is your first Rh positive baby and you are Rh negative, Rhogam is customarily given after the delivery and assurance that the baby has a Rh positive blood type to prevent you from forming antibodies for your next Rh positive baby during pregnancy which can be harmful to the fetus.
