Hi everyone,

This is my first post here, so please bear with me. We are J.W.'s, and my mom is approx. 16 weeks pregnant. She was called Thursday and told that there was a problem with her bloodwork. Something about "little c" or Anti-C antibody. She was told that this may cause the baby to become anemic, and the doctors would want to give it a blood transfusion either right after birth, or even thru the cord, before it's born. She's since looked it up on the internet and has found two things: 1. it's very rare, and 2., the prognosis for the baby isn't good. Can anyone enlighten us a little? Is there any other treatment? She's going to try to call the OB tomorrow, but they actually had to look it up in the book to find out what it was, so we're not expecting to here a lot from him. I appreciate any help you can give us!
