Just got back from my 33 wk dr. appt and he told me that I had tested positive on the antibody screen. I just looked at him, in my mind asking myself, "Is he saying what I think he's saying?"
He looked at me and asked if I'd ever tested positive before and I said, 'I don't think so because I have no idea what you're talking about." But he was saying what I thought he was saying and I did have a little idea of what he was talking about.
So the deal is that somehow, even though I've had my RhoGam every time I've been pregnant,
(every. single. time.)
I have become sensitized to RH+ blood.
I've had that injection 18 times and it's worked until now.
What in the world does that mean? I have some idea but I'm doing lots of reading on the internet and waiting for him to get back to me following his speaking to the perinatologist at Maternal Fetal Medicine.
I'm wondering if it's my little hint that it's okay to be done with bearing children......
What does it mean for this baby? Will he be ok, and just future ones are out of the question, or does it hurt him?
ReplyDeleteSorry you're going through this. I pray everything will be OK.
Oh sweetie - I'm so sorry. I think the worst is not knowing.
ReplyDeleteI'll pray you get things figured out soon.
