Miscarriage, please help! Rh-

I'm not sure if I'm required to go to the hospital or not?

I've had two previous miscarriages which I just stayed at home for. Since then I had a healthy daughter and during that pregnancy found out I'm Rh- and know the importance of the shot needed. My question is, do I go in now to be accessed? Or do I wait until I pass the fetus?

I'm between 9-12 weeks. My doctor is away at a conference.

Not sure if anyone will check this!

I ended up having an ectopic pregnancy. It burst at 9 weeks. I had no symptoms. They were going to send me home for two days before I could get in for an ultrasound. From 5 weeks on I was certain something was up and sure it was ectopic. Just a gut feeling. I was persistent with the nurses who finally grabbed a doctor. Thank goodness! He got me to go to a different hospital where we found out I was already bleeding into my abdomen.

Well here we are now, I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant and so far everything looks good! I'm ready for my second rainbow baby <3 (2 miscarriages, rainbow baby, ectopic, rainbow #2)

I know I have to. But do I wait until the fetus passes or go regardless?

Yes go to the hospital or doctor bc you're supposed to get the Rohgam shot after each pregnancy or loss. If not you have a high chance of not carrying the baby bc your body thinks it's a foreign object and will naturally abort the baby. I'm also Rh- and have had 2 miscarriages plus a full term and now I'm on my 2nd full term pregnancy.
