    This is all very common, especially with a Rh- mom.

    They are looking for a lot of antibodies actually, rubella for one.

    Is Dad a negative or positive blood type?

    Okay, so they are looking for antibodies in your blood, along with other illnesses like I mentioned above, to see if you have an antibody to the Rh +.

    If your kids are + and they have the same dad that this one has, you will most likely have to take the Rhogam shot. Did you have that with your second child? If not, you should have.

    You just get the Rhogam shot again. It's really no big deal these days.

    No problem. Every woman gets an antibody screening during pregnancy. Your doc or the nurse should have explained all of this to you. It is all routine and really nothing to be concerned about.
