Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows: 1. You need not worry about baby in present pregnancy. 2. It is almost near term and the Rh antibodies are just now starting. 3. She needs immediate anti-D immunization 4. She has been exposed to Rh positive blood of fetus, and during next pregnancy titre needs to be watched out for. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
