I'm Rh (-) and have to get the rhogam shot during my pregnancy...but since this is baby #2, I remember the DR. telling me that I have to get it or my body will work against the baby... How soon does this need to be given to me?

my mom is Rh- as well and she had to get the shot with both my sister and I, i know she got one during labour and one at some point during the pregnancy but i dont know when, of course that could have changed since then. Im sure your doc will let you know forsure at your 1st appointment

My SIL got hers at 27 weeks. You will also get another shot after the baby is born, if he/she has + blood type, not if the baby is - blood type.

not sure My mom was Rh- though and her dr forgot to give her the shot when she was pregnant with me. I was born 6 weeks early because of that. Ask your Dr at your next appt

i got mine around 27/28 weeks

okay! thanks everyone! I remember getting one while I was around 28 weeks last time...but my dh has been driving me nuts telling me to call my dr. to let them know that I'm rh- and that I will need this shot before my body rejects the baby! He is over-protective
