Fetal RHD Screening – Results & Next Steps

What it means:
Your baby is predicted to be RhD positive.

Next steps:
A healthcare provider will recommend RhIG to prevent complications in future pregnancies.
You will be offered RhIG:

• • At 28 weeks of pregnancy
  • After delivery
  • After any event where blood mixing may occur (such as bleeding, certain procedures, or trauma)

What it means:
Your baby is predicted to be RhD negative, the same as you.

Next steps:
You do not need RhIG during pregnancy or after delivery, and you can continue with routine prenatal care.

What it means:
The test was unable to provide a result.

Next steps:
A healthcare provider may:

• • Ask you to repeat the test, or
  • Recommend RhIG and treat your pregnancy as if your baby is RhD positive
