Why didn't I get the RHOGAM shot?

My first pregnancy I did not receive the RHOGAM shot, I was also anemic. I am pregnant again and my doctor is saying I have to get the shot since my blood is negative O. Is there any reasons why I would my first OBGYN would not give it to me. I don't know if my blood type is really that because Quest Diagnostic at first stated they could not find my labs it was listed under someone else's name, and a duplicate patient number in the system. They would not give my labs from my first pregnancy in 2011 to see if it matches up.

The reason behind the Rhogam shot doesn't affect the the first pregnancy. It affects the ones to follow.
