Has anyone else been told they were RH negative?

I’m almost 13 weeks and my doctor just called and told me I was RH negative but didn’t seem very concerned. Just said that if I were to notice any bleeding to immediately go in and get checked and I’d have to have a shot. Is this something I should be concerned about? Of course I hopped on google and freaked myself out. They didn’t seem concerned but google definitely makes it concerning.

I think you should ask him to give you one

yes my first! I read on google that I would need the shot anyways but then when they called they never mentioned that just that I would if I noticed any bleeding.

I think you might ask him, or a 2nd opinion from different doctor! As I know even in the first pregnancy they give this shot, so the immune system doesn't kick it out basically from your body. But do not panic, it's not something immediately gonna happen, usually at the latest pregnancies. But i'm not sure when. Please ask your doctor and you should ask a second opinion too, even if it's just a free call!!
Wish you the best and don't worry! Now it's all fine :)

I am o negative and my partner is be positive so I had to get the shot. If your partner is a negative blood type they may not have you get the shot unless you have bleeding.
If your partner is positive blood type then you should definitely get the shot.
My daughter was born with o positive blood so it was a good thing I got the shot.

I found out with my first pregnancy that I was RH negative and with the first pregnancy there is nothing to worry about. I was told that since I was already past the first trimester that I should only worry if I fell or hurt my stomach in any way and noticed bleeding. You will have to get a rhogam shot at I think 20 weeks. I'm going to be truthful with you. It's a very painful shot but it's needed. When I first found out I was worried too but it didn't really make my pregnancy any different then any other. You will be fine I promise.

I got a shot during pregnancy and got my second shot after baby was delivered because my baby had different blood type than me. I was just told that my body would fight my daughter’s blood and could cause problems but getting the shot would stop that. I got 2 rounds of the Rhogam just because she did have a different blood type than me and I bled a lot during birth. I got the first round about half way through the pregnancy and then after birth

I am RH negative, my baby is RH positive, absolutely no worries. You’ll have some injections during pregnancy, you’ll have some injections after the baby is born :)

I’m rh neg! It’s basically fine aslong as you get the shot and get any bleeding checked! It’s actually a really common thing :)

I’ve also had the shot at 30 weeks and all was okay it’s no different to a regular jab literally takes 2 seconds

Avatar

Rh neg itself isn’t a problem or a disease it’s literally just a blood type category you’ve been rh negative your whole life so don’t panic

Avatar

Don’t be concerned Im also rh negative and if you notice any bleeding they just give you a shot to make sure you and baby remain heathy :) I had one when I was 8 weeks due to a subchronial? (I forgot the exact name lol) hemorrhage and then another at 28 weeks just as a routine thing during one of my
Checkups and then another one after baby is born :) it’s just to make sure your body doesn’t try to fight of antibodies produced by the babies blood if they are rh positive but don’t worry it’s nothing scary like had already been said above it’s very common :)

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
