Hi Ladies, just a follow up. I did miscarry. I had the ultrasound the day after and they told me it was a complete miscarriage, including the sac. Now I'm having my hcg levels checked and waiting for them to go down. It's tough going back and being around so many pregnant woman and newborns so I'm hoping the levels decrease quickly. We're going to try again as soon as we can.
My blood type is negative and no one bothered to tell me that I needed a Rhogam shot. But I knew that I needed one from previous miscarriage but I was shocked that I had to ask for it 3 times. I'm pretty sure that they never would have given me one and it's a top notch affluent hospital in a major city. It's a baby factory, details are not their strong suit.
My point in mentioning this is a warning to anyone with a negative bloody type: if you do miscarry you need the Rhogam shot within 72 hours or your body may become Rh sensitized and it will become difficult to maintain a healthy pregnancy. I can't post a link but you can google miscarriage and Rh factor to learn more.
Best of luck to all of you!
