In my original post I was making a suggestion based on natural selection not knowing that the neg gene is always recessive (yes I also did some research). Because the negative gene IS RECESSIVE two negative parents have only negative genes to pass on and therefore cannot have a positive

Funnily enough, we are not allowed to test the partners of Rh neg women to see if they are negative too, thus ruling out the necessityfor giving Anti-D, because apparently we can't trust women to be truthful about the father of their baby!! Sally ---Original Message---

I had this experience! I am Rh neg and so is my hubby. I was told I would still need to have anti-D during pregnancy. Although the doctor never stated that my husband may not have been the father of my child, that's what was implied. I refused and thankfully was saved from any further

Having done a bit of research on it recently for our birth centre women it seems that only 1.5% of negative women will become isoimmunized during pregnancy. And that figure includes a large proportion who are mismanaged and not given Anti-D when potential sensitizing events occur eg. bleeding,
