I was lucky. I had to be concerned with the Rh factor because I have A- blood and Hubby has B+ blood. My first born was B+ so I had to get the shot right after having him. My second child was AB- so it was no problem.
I didn't know all of the particulars when it comes to blood, and when I saw O plasma going into my son during a transfusion (the son with AB- blood) I freaked a little. Then I was educated.
