Features of the course of pregnancy with negative Rh factor
On the surface of red blood cells in the blood of mostpeople during examination, a special protein can be seen. Its presence indicates that the blood is considered Rh-positive, but if this protein is absent, the blood is Rh-negative.
Pregnancy with a negative Rh factorinvolves regular analysis of photos. Getty: A negative rhesus is not considered a pathology or a disease, it is just a feature of the body. The ability to conceive a child does not depend on it, but it can affect the well-being of the pregnancy. This is possible if a man in a pair is Rh-positive. A child with the same probability can inherit both a positive rhesus and a negative one. If the fetal blood is negative, there will be no problems. But otherwise, the maternal organism can begin to produce specific antibodies that can harm the health of the child. Disorders in the fetal liver, problems with the development of hearing, anemia, and dropsy can occur. The risk of miscarriage also increases significantly. If both the mother and the father are Rh-negative, there will be no problems. Fortunately, if the woman becomes pregnant for the first time, complications occur infrequently. But the negative Rh factor in the second pregnancy requires special attention, since the probability of a conflict increases. After all, at first birth, the female body is confronted with a protein alien to it, and the level of antibodies rises sharply. When registering with a woman, it is mandatory to take blood from a woman to determine the Rh factor. Next, you need to periodically pass tests for the detection of antibodies. The longer the period, the more often you need to repeat this procedure. When antibodies are detected and their number is steadily increasing, doctors decide whether the immunoglobulin is appropriately administered. It is also necessary to introduce the drug as soon as possible after childbirth. If a woman wants to get pregnant again, the risk of complications will be slightly lower. The hemolytic disease of the newborn is the most serious consequence for the baby. The central nervous system is at risk. A negative rhesus is not a reason to get upset, but a signal of the need to responsibly treat your pregnancy.
