Welcome to Chat Doctor Usually after medical termination of pregnancy of the first child, an injection of Roam or Anti-D antibodies is needed to be given, but this would matter only if the baby was also Rh -ve like you. Since you are planning pregnancy it is advisable to do Leader Bette test to find out if you already have developed antibodies against Rh\u2019ve blood type and then according to how much bleeding was there the right dose can be given. Otherwise, serial monitoring of your pregnancy is a must and Anti-D injection can be given if you are not already sensitized against Rh\u2019ve blood. Discuss the possibilities and investigations to have safe pregnancy with your Obstetrician.
