Rhesus Negative!!!

I had a letter today from when I had my blood tests at my scan. I offered to take part in a study they're doing at the Women's Hospital. It's all to do with the Anti D injection. I already new I was A negative so was likely to get this injection at some point (although not as likely as it's our first). This study is trying to work out the antibody levels at 20 weeks and 28 weeks, then again after birth. They hope to cut down the needless Anti D injections for those mothers who are having negative babies. I thought it sounded like a good thing so when I go for my 20 week appointment on 7th June I will have to meet the research midwife and have some more blood taken. I've heard these Anti D injections are not too nice so I'm hoping it will stop me and others from needing it!!!
