Any O- blood type mamas ?

So I'm an o- and I know that if your partner is a positive blood type that you will need to get an rh shot some time in pregnancy 28 weeks I believe n after the baby is born. So I'm wondering is anyone else like me ? I know o- blood types are rare only 15% or less of the worlds population has this blood type. Anyone have advice for me? I'm a first time mom and I've found myself worried about the health of my baby. Ill be 8 weeks Tuesday  . (I have an ultrasound Monday )

The shot they give is a blood product. I don't like the idea of someone elses blood. I would also refuse a blood transfusion if needed. Just a personal belief. I don't judge others by any means I just personally don't like that thought.

I'm -A but RH negative also. I am not getting the shot against doctors advice because I don't want it. If you are curious, there are other alternatives to the shot. Just thought I would mention.
