A member asked:

Rh- i had a miscarriage i got the rhogam shot then now i am 28w i haven't received it yet for this pregnancy is it safe to get it after 28w? scared

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Strict time line: There is a strict time line for the administration of rhogam. If it is not given at 28 weeks, the potential beneficial effect may be diminished or there may be no benefit at all.
