I've asked on several other forums for anyone's experience with this.....haven't found anyone yet!
(sorry if my wording was a bit off Nikki....by extreme I was meaning on the scale of symptoms...as in prem birth at one end and mild jaundice at the other)
If I find anyone else out there who has experienced this I'll send them over here!!

So can blood complications just be caused if you're rhesus neg? I'm not and I don't think DH is either but I do find it fascinating!! In a strictly non-morbid sense!!!
My cousin had her first baby at 24 weeks and shes 8 now and while it wasn't due to those types of issues I remember how incredibly stressful it was so to have this added complication must make things alot more difficult.
Anyway thanks for the info Nikki - its good to know even if it doesn't directly concern me. I can now pass it on to anyone I meet who is in this situation.

Thanks mumtotwins.
Babe, I know of one other blood disorder - I'm sure there are many others. I meet a lady (while I was having my IV treatment once a week, she was having the same treatment) her body caused her baby's blood to clot  She lost her first baby at about 32 weeks gestation  Thankfully, she's now got a very happy and healthy little girl. Apparently her condition is extremely rare.

Thanks for this info. I am R H Neg and but had no issues in 1st pregnancy. I did get the Anti D after birth. I had a mc in October and had Anti D straight away. This pregnancy I think I will go for those extra injections although MW has said nothing about it. I do have an ob appointment in a few weeks so hopefully she tells me about them 
Thanks again for this valuable information.

I'm rhesus negative - when do you need to get the anti-d shots? During pregnancy or after your 1st.
We are TTC #1st full term baby but will be my 2nd pregnancy.

Caliandjack, best idea would be to talk to your MW or OB about it. The anti-d shots can be given during your pregnancy (at 28 weeks and 32 weeks) and after birth (anti-d is also given if you have any bleeds etc)
Good luck with TTC

Im o-ve, and was talking to my MW about this at my appointment this week. She said that they are trying to introduce mandatory anti D at 28ish weeks, but there is bugger all available so you really have to push for it if you want it... It might just be my area (wellington), but yeah, its just what shes said....

if you mention it to your mw when you first see her she should put it in her notes and discuss it with you.

i got kicked in the stomach at work at about 24-25 weeks (learn to swim teacher) and ended up at the hospital for 2 nights with contraction type cramps. they didnt hesitate to give me Anti-D even though there was no sign of any bleeding anywhere. i would have demanded it if they hadnt given it to me though! (blood type is A-ve.) and i will be asking for it after my birth. its already on my birth plan and MW has already said she always gives it to Rh- women once they give birth, whether or not there is tearing or any other way she can see of blood moving between mum and bubs. so really glad i picked her now!
sending you all my good sticky vibes lostAmber!

So I'm one of these ladies, lucky me 
Whats the point in having the jabs at 28 and 32 weeks?
I thought it was just a injection after giving birth, so the 2 injections at 28 and 32 weeks, are they as well as the jab after birth, or instead of?
