I am! With my first pregnancy it was in my butt..ouch. With my second I had some spotting at 6 weeks and at 20 weeks so I ended up getting 3 shots. (Luckily the shot is administered in the arm now) Now with my 3rd, I had spotting at 6 weeks again so they gave me another shot. I wouldn't worry too much :)

Had it two weeks ago in my thigh as midwife was scared to give shot in my arm! I had to sit down for 10mins but after that it was fine and I was straight back to work.
I would like to try for another child after this one and paternal blood group is AB+ so didn't want antibodies interfering.  I have had anti-D many times now because of miscarriages etc.

I am. With my first she was also negative so I only needed the one shot. But I wasn't expecting it to be given in my rear, haha! It hurt! Not enough to dread it this time around, but yow! :)
