Hello,
Thankyou for your reply,
I was just wondering how far along a pg would have to be when m/c to
cause problems with the rhesus state. I mean, would very early m/c take
place before a blood type had been determined for the fetus, therefore
meaning that v early m/c ie the first few weeks, is of no threat of
making complications in the rhesus way?
I wonder, as otherwise, there would be many women with problems as they
probably m/c in the first few weeks of preg..
Thank you for any insight...
