Mother RH negative fetus rh positive what will happen second time
Dear student
Rh -ve means complete absence of Rh factor/antigen in blood and Rh +ve means presence of Rh factor in blood. When Rh -ve blood is transfused in Rh +ve person no harm will be caused but if Rh +ve blood is transfused in Rh-ve person, he will start developing antibodies against Rh +ve antigen.
First delivery would be safe. but subsequent delivery with the same given case can be fatal to the developing foetus.
If this situation happens, then the body of mother will produce antibodies against the baby at time of delivery and this can affect the baby seriously. This condition is called Erythroblastolis foetalis . In such conditions antibody suppressants are given to mother at time of delivery so the baby remains unaffected.
