[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 436285, member: 84"] This is why I get upset that our lovely state no longer requires a blood test to get married. When parents are Rh incompatible the body builds up defenses during the first preg. Usually the 1st preg makes it to term. Second preg what happens is that those defenses the body made (antibodies) attack the fetus as if it's a foreign invader, just as it would a virus, which can cause miscarriage........and usually does. There are medications to treat the issue and they're given after the birth of each baby that stops the process. Roghan (sp). I so know I spelled that wrong. It's not a good spelling day. My mom and dad are incompatible. Mom, bright person that she is.......did not do the shots after each birth. She miscarried the 2nd preg and the 5th preg due to this and delivered me 2 mos early. Yup, I was an "experimental" baby to use the "new" incubators in the new NICU units that were popping up in the mid / late 60's. Mom got a freebie for my birth and after birth care since I was the state's lab rat. But I'm not complaining......I'm still HERE because of it. lol Nichole and easy child's OB automatically tests for incompatibility right after delivery of the first preg..........no matter what the parents blood type is, just in case. Smart man. Women aren't always truthful about baby's daddy. [/QUOTE]
