Does your negative Rh factor make you tremble? Very vain. We will tell you everything you need to know in order to live peacefully.
According to medical statistics, people with a negative Rh factor are only 15% of the world's population, the rest are positive. From here follows the first possible nuisance. Due to the fact that Rh-negative blood is always in acute deficiency at blood transfusion stations, those with it (regardless of whether there is a negative Rh factor in a man or a woman) may encounter certain problems if necessary. And in emergency cases, this can become a real threat to human life. But today it is possible to create a personal blood bank all at the same transfusion stations. You simply donate a certain amount of your blood, which has such a rare negative Rh factor, and draw up its preservation precisely for your needs, so to speak, “for every fireman”.
Women and girls with a negative Rh factor should be especially careful about the features of their blood. But here, too, is not so bad. First of all, all the myths that the "trainees" are difficult to get pregnant and in general they cannot have offspring - this is nothing more than a myth. And conception, and pregnancy with a negative Rh factor, and the birth of a perfectly healthy baby are as real as women with positive blood. But you should remember the following.
If the potential mother has a positive Rhesus factor, then what factor does the potential father of the baby have is absolutely not important. The fetus, no matter what Rhesus he takes from his parents, will not be able to provoke Rhesus conflict and the pregnancy will proceed normally.
In the case when a girl with a negative Rhesus factor plans to become a mother, an ideal partner for a child’s father will be a partner with a negative Rh factor. In such a favorable situation, the negative Rh factor is transmitted to the fetus, and the Rh conflict is itself excluded.
But a woman with negative blood and her companion with a positive may have problems with having offspring. The fetus can take a factor from both mom and dad. In the latter case, a Rhesus conflict will arise, in which the mother’s body will perceive the child in it as a foreign element and will actively develop antibodies against it. Such pregnancies very often end in miscarriages and premature births.
But this does not mean at all that if your blood is negative, and the blood of your life partner is positive, you should not have children. Just attend a regular antenatal clinic, donate blood at the indicated time to detect the presence of antibodies. If any are found, then strictly follow the recommendations of your doctor. Today, medicine has special drugs that can neutralize the aggressive effects of your body, not the fetus.
If you ignore the treatment, this will definitely have a very detrimental effect on the baby, who will experience a constant lack of oxygen and who will develop chronic anemia. First of all, the brain of the baby will suffer. And even if you bring the child to the due date, he will be born with serious pathologies.
Also, girls with a negative Rh factor should be aware that the first pregnancy, even if the fetus has the opposite Rhesus factor, proceeds as favorably as possible. But doctors do not strongly recommend abortions with negative blood, even at the earliest dates, since this is fraught with complications for the female body and, which happens very often, further infertility.
