That is weird that you didn't get a shot with your previous pregnancies. I'd ask my doctor about that if I were you. The shot did sting, and I'd never had a shot in my bum before. But it's really not that bad.

This is my 4th child and I'm negative. U get the shot at 28 weeks and sometimes later also and then after the baby is born if it is positive. It doesn't really effect the baby u r currently carrying but if u don't get the shot and have another child your body will think it's a virus and try to kill it so just get the shot and ur body will not fight it off. It's not really that big of a deal as long as u get the shot.

Im a negative.  And I promise you. You really have nothing to worry about. Youll get the shot. Which burns like a sob. And then maybe OneNote.time during pregnancy.  This prevents anything from happening to the baby.  And when you give birth they will do blood work and see if he is a negative blood type or positive.  Its a 50/50 shot of him or her being a negative blood type. If he or she is. You wont hab to have another shot and worry about a single thing. If he or she isnt. You just get another shot.
Its simple and easy. Nothing really to worry about.

If you have negitive bloood then you will always get the shot with every baby. I am negitive and so is my hubby but they are making me get it. Its better safe than sorry and as far as I know there are not any side effects but it does hurt alot.

U get that shot at 28 weeks. Its the rhogham shot. I got it. And when baby is born depending on his blood u will get anothet. It just helps from having ur cells from attacking the baby's.

I got my shot at 28 weeks and they said another one after birth. If you start bleeding or spotting you need to go in right away and they will give you the shot then. All will be good just try not to worry or stress yourself over it :-)

I'm O- and my doctor said not to worry. They will give you a shot so in case of blood being mixed at time of birth. The shot prevents your body from making antibodies to fight against positive blood

You get the shot a month or so before you're due and if the baby is positive they'll give you another one after the birth. My daughter was negative so I didn't need the second shot. But they'll do the same routine for each pregnancy. Your baby should be just fine.
