I'm AB- as well. Needed the rhogam with both of my children. We'll see what this munchkin turns out to be. I just had my son back this past April and it says the rhogam is good until June 2015, I'm 22 weeks with this baby, should I need it again?

I have the blood type to. They gave me the shot over 2 times during my pregnancy. Once in the beginning second one after my car accident then another when I hit 28 weeks. Shot kind of burns but quick like always. Depending on what type your baby.. after you give birth you might have to get it again.

Mine is too. It's not bad. We are just in a small group because there is a smaller percentage of negative blood types. Have your bf/husband get a blood test too, to determine his blood type. If he's negative all is okay. If he's positive, you will require a rhogram shot at 28 weeks or so. Reason being is you will have foreign blood in your body (babys blood from dad) and your body will produce antibodies because you will be carrying two different blood types. If you notice any bleeding prior to the 28 week mark. Visit the er and they will give you the shot right away. This is what my obgyn said to me.
