The happy feeling of expecting a baby and preparing for his or her arrival is so exciting and beautiful. This happiness was ment to last only for the doctor to say “no baby heartbeat”that’s so devastating.
Expectation prosponed makes the heart sick.
Sadly, this is the fourth time this is happening, and I feel so sad for her.
A friend recently shared this sad news with me, and I couldn’t help but wonder what could be the cause.
I learned that when a woman is Rhesus negative and her partner is Rhesus positive, there is a possibility of having a Rhesus-positive baby.
During pregnancy or delivery, the baby’s blood can mix with the mother’s blood, causing her immune system to produce antibodies against the baby’s red blood cells. This can lead to complications, especially in subsequent pregnancies.
I also learned that mothers are usually given an injection around 28 weeks of pregnancy and within 72 hours after delivering a Rhesus-positive baby.
Now, here’s what I find confusing:
How possible is it for two Rhesus-positive parents (O+ and O+) to have a Rhesus-negative child (O-)?
I would really love to understand the science behind this.
Have you ever come across something like this?
