Does anyone know?

I got my first check today and afterward I started bleeding, which the Dr. said was normal.  I'm Rh negative will I need a shot? It didn't even cross my mind at the time.  I got my shot at 28 weeks and I know I will get one after the baby is born but if anyone knows please let me know.  I'm kinda freaking out now and its too late to call the Dr. till the morning.

I am the negative also you only need a shot during your pregnancy once as long as its in the middle of your pregnancy because the shot only last about 12 weeks or so and of course you get on right after you give birth.

I'm sure the doc would have told you if you needed to get a shot if you started bleeding but if you are that worrried I would call the doc office they should have a 24 hour answering service and they would be able to tell you
