hi, not pregnant, but early post-natal I had a course of 20 accupuncture treatments for carpal tunnel. Even after the first session I was relieved of some pain. I was very pleased with my results, occasionally it has returned, mostly with a new baby, etc but it doesn't stay for long. I

Hi, one possibility is that the lab could have made a mistake or there was a mix-up with specimens? MM There is no possibility 2 RH- parents can have an RH+ baby. The positive gene is dominant, therefore: If a person has the genes + +, the Rh factor in the blood will be positive. If a person
