My argument against the consultant is that she said when I am in labour they will not be putting any thing in place to help me if I do go into trauma. I will be treated like all the pregnant women, who would take blood. My argument is that: I don't want to work against them, I want the best treatment possible. So why, if they can put something in place to save my life if I do go into trauma, why won't they do it??? Regards Moesha1 p.s. this isnt the last the consultant has heard from me, believe me!
hello my name is elizabeth i am a jehovahs witness from england and i had the same problem when i was pregnant with my first son with rhesus negative as i did not want anti-d as it has a blood fraction, i recently had a miscarriage and that brought up the issue again and i am having difficulty getting my views across, as the medical staff were not pleased i stated my stand on the issue, i am currently searching oput a synthetic version of anti-d.

my thoughts go out to you and others in the same predicament.
