How Rh differences can complicate pregnancy.

How Rh differences can complicate pregnancy.
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: An Rh+ man and an Rh– woman carrying his Rh+ child. This is her first Rh+ pregnancy, so she has no anti-Rh antibodies. During birth, some of the child’s Rh+ cells get into her blood.

The foreign marker stimulates antibody formation. If this woman gets pregnant again and if her second fetus (or any other) carries the Rh protein, her anti-Rh antibodies may attack and kill the fetal red blood cells.
