shot to prevent miscarriage

7 weeks pregnant, had a miscarriage earlier this year in May at 20 weeks. I was told by my GYN that i may need to get a shot (I FORGOT THE NAME) later in my weeks to prevent miscarriage. Has anyone had this shot? Risk? Kind of over whelmed about it!!!

Are you blood type O - {neg}? If so its a shot that you have to get so your body dont fight your baby off. O- is the only blood that you have to get it with. Something in your blood will kill and fight the baby off. Its a Rhogam shot. my best friend just got her friday. haha i joke with her and call her evil because she is O neg blood type!!!!! its nothing to worry about it. it'll help you carry the baby and help you keep the baby and keep him or her healthy.
