A member asked:
When do antibodies from a mother not receiving a rhogam injection in an rh negative baby cause serious problems for a subsequent pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rhogam refused: Failing to administer, or failing to accept Rhogam when needed is asking for very serious trouble. If an rh negative woman delivers and rh positive baby and does not get immunized, any future pregnancy with an rh positive baby is likely to be affected -- severe jaundice & brain damage at birth, or baby bloating and dying in the womb. Used to be very common and should never occur.
