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.

Be fruitful and multiply. You're thinking too much fren. It will be ok.
No...if they are Rh- it takes important intervention for the safety of mom and baby.
The problem is for subsequent pregnancies if mom is Rh- and dad is Rh+
Yeah I have a daughter who had to do RhoGam twice...I was replying to eyerighteye who said they "were thinking too much". This is one instance where it doesn't just work itself out. I actually did some research on Rh factor and it was quite interesting.
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.
