Hi I am 12 weeks pregnant and I have just received a letter informing me that I am A RhD positve with Anti-Cw antibodies. It came with a card that I apparently have to show on admission to hospital or antenatal checks. Looking on the internet it seems that anti-cw is rare and I wondered if it is a cause for concern?
Hi there,Anti-C antibodies found in pregnancy need to be monitored. You will need to get a blood test done to know the level of antibodies. The usual cut-off considered is 20 mid. If they are more than this it could adversely affect the baby. Anti-C though rarely found should be checked in all pregnant women as the presence of these antibodies can cause problems like ASCIIs, and fluid collection in baby and in womb called policy Chat Doctor. These antibodies are more commonly seen in women who have had blood transfusion before. Once detected the levels have to be checked routinely during pregnancy and if increasing, a fetal medicine expert needs to be seen immediately. Get the titles checked and discuss the above with your obstetrician. Hope this helps. Regards.
