What is an Anti-D injection and why is it given during pregnancy?

Asked by Female, 26 · 10 days ago

Anti-D injection is given to pregnant women who have Rh-negative blood type to prevent complications if the baby has Rh-positive blood. It helps stop the mother's immune system from forming antibodies that could affect the current or future pregnancies. Doctors usually give this injection during pregnancy and sometimes after delivery if needed.
