Anti-bodies during pregnancy

I just found out that I am pregnant with my second child. During my first pregnancy the doctor told me that I am O-neg and that I have an antibody present in my blood. He told me that things would be fine with the first pregnancy but it could carry complications with future children. I dont remember if its D or E. But I am about 5 weeks long and am curious if I should be worried. I dont see the doctor till 11 wks. Do i need to speak with my doctor to have test done or wait. He didnt give me any information during my first pregnancy and i'd really liked to know.

Sounds like you are RH- and need the Rhogam shot. I would bring it up when you see him. If you have ANY spotting/bleeding you need to get the shot ASAP.

I agree with nickie.  See if you can get an earlier appointment.
