HI,
I understand your concern.
If a Rh - ve mother carries( conceives ) with a Rh +ve child , there are rsk of her being sensitized to Rh +ve blood . To clear this effect Anti D injection (Rhogam )is given within 24 hours of delivery & abortion .This helps in-
- Avoiding complications in next delivery,
- Avoiding serious reaction after blood transfusion in mother .. in case she needs it through out her life.
* So, in case of your daughter-
It's good that she has received anti D after her abortion. That has made her coming pregnancy / blood transfusion ( if she needs it ) safe.
She will have to get Anti D injection after her next delivery too.. If her new born baby is Rh +ve.
Rh - ve mothers need this precaustion every time the give birth/ abort.
Thanks.
