What is Rh negative blood?
About 15% of the population has what is called “RH negative” blood, which is inherited, like eye color. Pregnant women with Rh negative blood types must have a special injection after each abortion, miscarriage, or delivery. If any Rh negative woman does not receive this injection, antibodies may be released into her bloodstream which can cause complications with future pregnancies. The fee for this injection is fifty dollars in the first trimester and one hundred twenty-five dollars in the second trimester.
