Patient's question:
President Zhou, hello, I am RH negative A type blood, my husband is RH positive. The first time I was pregnant, I had an abortion because there was no fetal heartbeat from the 50th to the 70th day. I would like to ask, in this case, if I get pregnant again, will there be hemolysis? Later, I had a blood test and found rubella virus antibodies and cytomegalovirus antibodies.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: The tests you previously underwent were the tetrascreen, which is used to check for special viral infections during the early stages of pregnancy and has no relation to blood type. In general, if a mother is Rh-negative, the first child's blood coming into contact with the mother's blood during delivery can cause the mother to develop antibodies. The second child may then suffer from hemolysis due to these antibodies in the mother's body.Recommendation: The reason why your first child stopped developing may not necessarily be due to hemolysis, but it is also possible. This can be explained by the grandmother hypothesis. Your second child is at risk of hemolysis, and you can undergo preventive treatment at a regular hospital. It is recommended that you consult a specialist doctor.
