![]() If your baby has Rh-positive blood, you should get a second injection a few days after you give birth. This blood product contains antibodies to the Rh factor. You can prevent the effects of Rh incompatibility by getting an injection of Rh immune globulins (RhIg) during your first trimester, during a miscarriage, or while having any bleeding during your pregnancy. If you’re pregnant and your doctor determines that you’ve already developed antibodies against your baby, your pregnancy will be closely monitored. Whether it must be repeated depends on the severity of your baby’s condition. These procedures may be repeated until the Rh-negative antibodies and excess bilirubin have been removed from your baby’s blood. Phototherapy involves keeping your baby near fluorescent lights to help reduce the bilirubin in their blood.
