Can RhoGAM cross placenta?
RhoGAM doesn't hurt the fetus because there are different kinds of antibodies and the ones in RhoGAM are a type that won't cross the placenta, so never reach the fetus. Once a woman has had this shot, she should make sure everyone involved in her health care knows.
Can anti-D affect baby?
The anti-D injection is safe for both the mother and the baby. If a woman has developed anti-D antibodies in a previous pregnancy (she's already sensitised) then these immunoglobulin injections don't help. The pregnancy will be monitored more closely than usual, as will the baby after birth.
