If your blood is rhesus-negative and your child\u2019s blood is rhesus-positive, this can lead to complications. This is due to the fact that, if blood cells from your child enter your bloodstream, your body forms antibodies against these rhesus-positive blood cells. If these antibodies are then transmitted to your child via the placenta, your maternal immune system destroys the child\u2019s red blood cells. As a result of this, your child no longer receives a sufficient amount of oxygen. However, oxygen is essential for the healthy development of your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"precautionary-measures-for-rhesus-negative-pregnant-women-anti-d-prophylaxis\">Precautionary measures for rhesus-negative pregnant women: Anti-D prophylaxis <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the immune reaction of the maternal immune system to the unborn, rhesus-positive child is prevented through a corresponding precautionary measure, known as anti-D prophylaxis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"ghostkit-col ghostkit-col-lg-12 ghostkit-col-order-lg-first ghostkit-col-6\"><div class=\"ghostkit-col-content\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-1 wp-block-group alignwide py-lg-5 my-lg-5 my-3 has-light-background-color has-background\">\n<h2 id=\"anti-d-prophylaxis-is-often-unnecessary\">Anti-D prophylaxis is often unnecessary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the applicable maternity guidelines in Germany, all rhesus-negative pregnant women should receive anti-D prophylaxis as a precautionary measure. From a medical viewpoint, it is only useful for six out of ten rhesus-negative pregnant women, because they are expecting a rhesus-positive child. This means that four out of ten rhesus-negative pregnant women receive anti-D prophylaxis without any medical need, since their unborn child is rhesus-negative. Nowadays, medical professional associations agree that anti-D prophylaxis in rhesus-negative pregnant women with rhesus-negative unborn children is in fact not necessary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"praenarhdthe-prenatal-rhesus-test-of-eurofins-pranatal-medizin\">PraenaRhD<br>The prenatal rhesus test of Eurofins Pr\u00e4natal-Medizin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now have the rhesus factor of your unborn child determined from your blood starting from gestational week 11+0 p.m. If <strong>your child is rhesus-negative<\/strong>, you can decide together with your doctor if you wish to forgo the anti-D prophylaxis because, just as with many other drugs, it is not free of possible adverse effects and risks.
