Guest guest Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 I went through this last year There is a mercury free Rhogam shot available, called WinRho by Bayer. It is very hard to find and VERY expensive (I was quoted $800 by my pharmacist!). I did NOT have insurance at the time. I declined the early shot. I waited until my son was born, had his blood typed. When it came back as positive, I had the shot :-( If he had been negative, I would not have had the shot at all. IMO there is no reason for the early test, so long as you are not submitted to aminio or any other procedure that would result in mixing of blood. The only problem is during delivery, if there are complications and blood is mixed, your body will make antibodies against the NEXT child you may (or may not) have. Therefore, it is perfectly safe to have the shot after the birth of the child, and only if necessary. I just wish I knew more when I was pg. with my daughter. I had 2 shots with her, plus she's fully vaxed :-( www.ChestnutHillCurlies.com Rhogam question > I am A- and my husband is A+.

There is also one more factor that goes into it. Find out if your blood tested du-....this factor overrides the need for rhogam, even if you are - and dh +. I just got done reading a book called " Anti D in midwifery " , and can guess why your midwife talked in circles. All the testing for rhogam and the mixing of blood happened AFTER birth was set in the hospital structure. So what you have is Dr's pulling on the cord after birth to get the placenta out, and tons of other interventions that could very easily mix the blood, thus making you build antibodies that would affect future pregnancies. So honestly, we really have NO idea, in a natural, normal, nonintervened birth, how likely it is for the blood to mix, except that the stats would be MUCH lower than they are now. If you had no interventions (and even vaginal checks can move things around in there, thus upping the possability of mixture) then it would be very rare for you to need it. But, of course, it would be very hard to find a midwife, much less an ob that would respect your wishes in this regard.. Today, I wouldnt decline it personally, but I do wait till after the babe is born, and test his/her blood off the umbilical cord. That way, Im not getting a shot if it isnt necessary.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 My mother had the typical drug-and-drag deliveries of 5 kids and NO shots. She's - and I (the first born) am +. You know there was mixing there. My mw doesn't advise it but she's smart enough to let nature finish the job (waiting for the mom to puch out the placenta and no clamping til completely done pulsing and is hard and white).

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I’ve done pregnancy after rhogam but it’s always been at least a year b/t…so not sure how long you should wait or not.. or if it really matters.. I think they told you to wait b/c of the miscarriage though not the shot.. Nita, Mom to: 14, Jon 13, 10, 8, 6, Christian (7/16/03 to 8/22/04), 2 and Isaac, 2/308 Learn from the mistakes of others.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi Kim- I was in the same situation. They tell you to wait so your body can heal. Not because of the shot. I ended up getting pregnant again 7 months after my Rhogam shot and so far so good. I had my husband get his blood type tested so I would know if the shot was necessary or not in future pregnancies (it isn't, he is A-, I'm O-). That's an option for you although I do know insurance didn't cover that blood test and it was something like $400.
