So, thinking about another kid in the future and trying to get a plan together. We’re probably going to find a place to store our own blood in case of emergency during delivery, but does anyone know if there’s a way to safely manage the issue of a RhoGam injection from non vax blood? Not sure if anyone’s dealt with that before but it’s the last piece of our puzzle before we’d ever make a move to try again.

Very interested to see what you find out, just found out we’re expecting another one. Def gonna be a battle with the ‘health’ system
Congratulations fren!
Congrats pede
Thank you for the reply and looking back I did write that poorly. Long story short, wife needs the shot and we lucked out with the first kid coming before the vax rollout. So now, it’s a matter of worrying about having to get a RhoGam shot that’s produced from vaxxed blood and then also trying to find a way to store pre pregnancy blood away for delivery in case a transfusion is necessary. Exciting times…
Be fruitful and multiply. You're thinking too much fren. It will be ok.
The problem is for subsequent pregnancies if mom is Rh- and dad is Rh+
I had to do it twice too. It really is super important if a woman will have any more children.
An Rh- mom will miscarry an Rh+ baby. So if a woman is Rh- and the father is + there’s a 50/50 chance the baby will be + and the moms body will reject it. The Rhogam shot injects small amounts of someone’s random Rh+ blood into the mom to build up antibodies. So it could come from someone vaxxed.
Dang! I never even thought about storing blood incase of an emergency during pregnancy/birth. I highly doubt I will be able to get pregnant again but I also don’t know what God’s plan is for our family so it’s definitely always a possibility until I start menopause later on. I’m glad you brought this up b/c I will definitely be remembering this incase I miraculously get pregnant any time soon.
