Any how thanks for your response. >Amy. > >>Hi Amy: >> I was wrong, apparently they do antibody screens on all pregnant women now, and according to Dr. Braun. always did where he was. I know they didn't do them where I worked, but that was unusual I guess. Anyway, that's how your antibody must have been detected, through one of these routine screens. As you say, you have not been told you are RH neg and you would know by now! One way to tell if you got sensitized through your first pregnancy would be to test your first baby for big E. If positive, then that pregnancy would be when it happened because if it happened from the transfusion an antibody screen would probably have picked it up during the first pregnancy. However, if your first baby is E neg, then it was the transfusion. Even though your husband carries big E, the baby could still be big E neg, unless your husband has a rare RH type. This doesn't really matter though, just curiosity. :<) I hope everything goes well for you and your baby! Chris S.
