That is about it for now ill try and write more when i get some free time.

HI!! THATS GREAT about school! YES educatin first!! im a mom sorry force of habit...=)
As to your question,. I do not get the pleasure of being poked with a needle for having RH-. My friend does, she just had to have hers the other day. As for side effects, soreness at injection site and she bruised...thats just her tho. She dont know how big the needle is cuz she dont do needles like me....=)


I did however find this information for you hope it helps!!

here is the link too!!

Side effects of RhoGAM® Brand are rare and extremely mild. You may feel soreness, tenderness, warmth or develop a rash at the site of injection. Other mild side effects may include fever, chills, headache, or a feeling of fatigue. If you experience other symptoms, please call your doctor. Contact your doctor if you have any questions about RhoGAM® Ultra-Filtered PLUS and your pregnancy.

thanks for the info

I too am RH negative and this is my second pregnancy.....with my first DD I had to have the Rhogam earlier than normal because I had some bleeding...so I got it twice before I delivered and once after I delivered....who knows with this pregnancy when/how they do that.....but, I don't remember it being anymore than just like any other shot.....

Good luck....and I don't blame you switching doctors for the 2 hour drive....I would do the same....

I am RH-. I had to have the shot about 5 times during my pregnancy due to bleeding. I had no side effects other than having a shot :)
