Ok this might be a silly question, I wanna find out what hubbys blood type is as Im O-. I sent him to the dr to get a BT to find out, the stupid Dr tested him for everything else but NOT his blood type  Is there any other way to find out, can you just go to a pathology place and pay for the test without a referral?
Nay I hope everything goes well for you over the next 2months!

Ah really, awesome I'll ask her when I see her next Friday! At our last appointment she talked to us about the AntiD etc etc which I've had before with my mc bub so kinda know the deal with it all. But she never offered to give us a referral, ah well I'll ask her. Thanks Emmi

I didnt ask my MW, but when she asked what DHs BT was and he wasnt 100% sure she sent him off anyway, it wasnt a big deal

I am an A- blood type. I asked the locum MW we are signed up with until the proper one gets back from holiday in August about the whole situation. She said 'don't worry about it' when I asked about getting the injections in case of bleeding later on in pregnancy. No explanation, no suggestion to find out what DH's blood type is or anything. Gosh it made me mad... Do you think I should change MW's even though the one we are with is just temporary? I don't know the actual one we have anyway. It sucks being in such a small town medically - they just don't seem to keep up to date with things or are too relaxed or something.
So if DH has a negative blood type - do we need to worry about bleeding? At the moment I haven't had any spotting or anything but don't know I trust the MW to do anything about it if I did.

How very blasé of the MW!! She of all people should know how important it is to have anti-D if required.
If your DH is Rh- then you don't need to worry about getting anti-D if you have any bleeds as baby will be Rh- also

Keep forgetting to update!! Everything is fine. Which is weird. The last scan we had 20th? july.. i cant even remember it was so long ago showed her liver and blood flow to be fine. The ob said she wouldnt have even put money on us making it to 22 weeks since she lost a lot of blood. Now its just a waiting game till she comes. Not long till due date. Hopefully she comes sooner.
I cant wait to find out what blood type she is..i want to know if those injections(many many injections) were worth it. :D

Arrived on friday :) induced on Thursday. Only got out of hospital wednesday.. They wont let you go over if you have recurring bleeds. 3880 grams. She is perfectly fine b+ve. So got another lot of anti D. Im unable to enjoy her much atm as my pelvis had to get forced open in birth and her shoulder got stuck :(. So cant walk without help, and now i cant breast feed due to destroyed nipples... Lack of care on middlemores half :( But i wouldn't have it any other way :) i love her too much. A very long nine months.

Aww Congrats Nay!!
Been meaning to post... I talked to my MW about anti D during pregnancy, apparently they dont do it routinely any more (only if you have bleeding/bumps etc)... Is anyone else getting it done routinely atm? Should I push for it?

Thats stupid! The doctors at the hospital told me you are more likely to get silent bleeds in pregnancy than actual "i see blood" type of thing. And its not like it matters if you get the shot and you didnt need it. I think its too much of a risk not too. I think you do have to ask for it though. Im glad i had them. All six or whatever it was. :)

Yeah Ive heard that before (re chances of silent bleed compared to bleeding bleed) and my MW did say that because DH is A+ (or AB+ or which ever one he is) the chances of baby being -ve is very small (DD is A+)... maybe I will bring it up with her again next appointment...

Would they give injections routinely if you've already had anti-D?
I got regular BT's for antibodies I'm assuming I'll have the same for the next pregnancy, DD is O+ blood type and I got anti-D jab after the birth.
Rather not have injections unless I have to.
