Dear Customer
Welcome, and thank you for trusting us

What is Rh factor?

• Rhesus (Rh) factor is an inherited protein found on the surface of red blood cells. If your blood has the protein, you're Rh positive.
• If your blood lacks the protein, you're Rh negative

• Most people — about 85% — are Rh positive.
•  if a woman who is Rh negative and a man who is Rh positive conceive a baby, there is the potential for a baby to have a health problem.

What does it mean if I'm rhesus negative?

• Rhesus status only matters if you are a rhesus-negative mum who is carrying a rhesus-positive baby.

• Your child will have inherited her rhesus-positive status from her rhesus-positive dad
• If some of your baby's blood enters your bloodstream, your immune system may react to the D antigen in your baby's blood
•  It will be treated as a foreign invader and your body will produce antibodies against it
• The antibodies that your body made in your first pregnancy can quickly multiply, cross the placenta and attack the blood cells of your baby in second pregnancy
• Pregnant women should take injections with anti-D immunoglobulin (anti-D) to guard against the harmful effects of antibodies
•  if you are not treated with anti-D, the immune response in your second pregnancy will be stronger than the first pregnancy and can cause rhesus disease in your baby
