I've also heard that if the blood mixes in labor it can give the baby a disease and so the injection is supposed to help with that as well. I just googled it earlier trying to explain it to my son's father.

I'm also rh negative. If ur partner is rh positive that's why I have to get the shot. Bc basically it means ur body thinks ur baby is a virus so it fights the baby off thinking it's a virus.
