Does Frequent Blood Tests Harm The Fetus During Pregnancy?
Hi, I am 12 weeks pregnant and I had my first scan last friday - they also took blood again as the first lot of blood came back saying I had antibodies in it - I am now really worried as the midwife called me to ask me to come in tomorrow to give more blood - is my baby at risk? This is 3 Times I have given blood in the last 2 weeks and I don t think it is normal - the midwife said on the phone last night that it was nothing to worry about but Im getting slightly paranoid now

Hello and welcome to healthcare magic.
Let me assure you repeated blood tests WILL NOT HURT YOUR BABY.
If I were you I'd be more concerned about what are the blood tests that are being done.
I would have liked to have few more details like your age, history of previous pregnancies (if any), your blood group etc to give you a more detailed answer.
Please do get back if you have any more questions.
