Yes;no: Your first pregnancy may have "sensitized" you to Rh+ blood. You can have yourself checked for level of antibody in your blood. Rhogam would not be effective at this late date but your pregnancy can be carefully monitored and there might be some intervention available. Speak to a neonatologist soon.
