RH Factor? 23weeks now

I just found out that my blood type is b-. We're still waiting on my husband's blood results, but I was wondering any of you ladies have this problem? I'm still learning about it but I'm still worried...

Yes my blood type is negative too an my doctor didnt worry about my fiance either she just she i needed to get a shop im 38 weeks an 5 days i got my shot at 35 weeks it protects you're baby so you're blood wont mix with the babies bloods pr vice versa because if it does you're body can start to release antibodies into youre blood an it can harm the baby even result in death because you're body starts to attack the baby thats what i was told

I'm b negative too!  No worries ... I just got a shot at around 28 weeks and it doesn't even hurt. They put it in your hip. You get another shot before you give burgh when you are laboring I think

Normally if the blood types cause a problem, it will be in the first 10 weeks. My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage because my body attacked the baby, but once they found out what caused it, I got a shot  that protected me  my later pregnancies. So since you made it this far, you're good. If need be, you'll just need that  shot at 28 weeks and you'll be set.

I am rh negative too . My dr didn't even worry  about my husband's blood type, I just get a shot at 28 weeks with each pregnancy and it protects the baby until birth.
