Answered by Dr. Nisarg Patel
Yes, since the mother is O-negative and the baby is B-positive, Anti-D (Rho(D) immunoglobulin) must be given to the mother within 72 hours of delivery to prevent Rh sensitization.
✔️ Baby’s jaundice may be due to Rh incompatibility, which is treatable with phototherapy or other supportive care
✔️ Giving Anti-D now helps protect future pregnancies by preventing the mother's immune system from attacking future Rh-positive babies
✔️ It is also given during pregnancy (at 28 weeks) and after events like bleeding or miscarriage
Please consult your gynecologist immediately if Anti-D hasn't been administered yet.
