Blood result - Anti Kell

Has anyone had this antibody result? I’ve googled and sounds like something my midwife should raise with me, but I’ve heard nothing. Does anyone have any info on this?

I've not had this, but I believe it's a rare-ish antibody found in some people's blood. I think these antibodies occur either from a first pregnancy or from a blood transfusion (I am not 100% on this). I imagine you will have some extra monitoring to make sure all goes well 😊 I guess your midwife/a consultant will explain everything properly at your next appointment?x

Thank you ! I’m hoping to get some more info at my next appt although my midwife seems utterly useless! X

I can definitely see why you'd want information sooner! Sounds like something which is either not an issue, or is manageable. I'm sure you'll have more info on the details soon! xx

I’m pretty sure my partners mam has this and she had to take medication to protect baby and was monitored more closely due to the rare blood result, I may be wrong though but after a quick google search it sounds like what she’s described, wishing you a healthy pregnancy ❤️❤️

Hey I had Anti E antibodies with my 3rd baby who was born in May. Mine was a different type of antibody but the same thing. Drop me a message if you have any questions, I remember reading online at the beginning and being so anxious but ended up doing a lot of research.

Hi, we are 12 weeks pregnant and they are closely following my pregnancy as dad has KELL and they found antibodies in my blood. Just wondering how everything is playing out for you?

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date
