Has anyone had experience with this? IM pretty worried

Yes, the Rhogam shot is great when needed. It depends on if this is ur first pregnancy?  If so and your partner is ru positive you may need the shot depending upon the babies blood type. You can get the blood tested post party and if the baby is RH postive (most people generally are) then you can take the Rhogam shot. You don't need to take it at 28 weeks unless you have been in a serious traumatic injury to your womb, such as car accident, or bad fall etc. It's really quite rare and some research shows RH negatives have some special attributes... interesting stuff also given there's no known ancestor for RH negatives.

Yes me too I am 23 weeks pregnant and I am rhesus negative and my husband is positive... My baby blood type was tested and he is positive too. This thing is taken care very well these days. At beginning of your pregnancy they must have search for irregular antibodies?  You will get an injection at 28th weeks and at birth...

i was told i am to. but dr said its fine and not to worry. the shot makes ur blood type not fight off the babys as precaution.  so dont worry my doc said he sees it all the time.

There is nothing to be worried about. I am RH negative as well and this is my 4th pregnancy. They will give you a shot at around 28-29 weeks and again after delivery to prevent any "mishaps" with future pregnancies. (Ex: clep-lip).
