We had 2 donors standing by that were not vaccinated and got all kinds of excuses that it wouldn't be feasible. They finally said if in the rare case she needed blood, they could stop the bleeding long enough for us to donate blood. I find it hard to believe this is not a bigger issue. Catholic Hospital, Catholic Doctor, and the last thing out of his mouth was "The Pope says it's OK!" Any experts out there want to weigh in on the introduction of mRNA blood into an unvaccinated bloodstream?
She did not need the transfusion, but . . .
If they wanted to give you rhogam, your baby was rh+. Your blood, if there's any crossover, would then have rh antibodies that could attack the blood of any later babies. If you were rh+ instead of rh- it wouldn't be an issue because only rh- blood would react to rh+ blood as an attack and respond with antibodies.
