Informed Consent in Pregnancy: An Exploration of RhoGam Risks and Maternal Choices

As you know, I am a firm advocate for having informed consent. And informed consent means that you have the information from both sides of the coin where you feel educated and confident in the decisions you make for you.

And if you happen to be pregnant for your baby and you don’t just go by what the doctor is telling you. As you have heard in previous podcast episodes, specifically, my interview with Shay Stanford, the doctor doesn’t always have all of the information in front of them. And so the topic that I’m gonna discuss today is the RhoGam shot.

Now before you’re like, that doesn’t that doesn’t affect me, because either you’re done having children or maybe you don’t fall into the category where you have a negative blood type. I want you to hear me out because this is more than a shot. This is, in my opinion, an agenda, and there could be someone in your life that this does affect. So let’s talk about, first of all, what it is, who it applies to, all the things.

So first of all, if you have a positive blood type, no. This isn’t something that should be offered to you. Although, I will be real with you, I have heard that it was pushed on women who were positive blood type in in my research, in my nine months of being pregnant.

So just as a heads up, if you hear this come up at all, that’s a major red flag for you. It also shouldn’t be given to someone who has a negative blood type and their partner also has a negative blood type.

So I personally didn’t fall into this category because I have negative blood and my husband has positive. So that’s why I was offered this shot. And the other piece of it is if you are negative and your baby, which you don’t know, right, you don’t there are tests, I will get into that later, that you can research and get done yourself.

But for the most part, they do not your standard care does not check your baby’s blood type before the baby is born. Soon as the baby is born, they will take a little prick, and they will let you know right away what the baby’s blood type is. But but when the baby’s in utero, you don’t know. You don’t know if they’re positive or if they’re negative.

And in the case that you do happen to have a negative baby, you do not need the shot. So let’s just use my mom and me, for example. My mom is o negative. My dad was a or is a positive.

And when I was born, they tested me I was O negative. So my mom was never administered the shot. She it wasn’t needed. Whereas in my case, it was offered once again because my baby was O positive.

Now as I go through this, you probably can use your imagination about worst case scenarios. If you have heard my story before, I actually left standard care specifically because of this issue. I was denying all shots across the board, flu, DTaP, the the new one. K?

But this one was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Because when I went to the doctor for the first time when I moved to Florida, I was a brand new OB. So I never had really this discussion with my my OG OB, as I call her, who I had for seventeen years.

Obviously, it would have been a conversation that came up had I remained living in New York. But I had already had my mind set. And I was like, Oh, well, I don’t have to worry about crossing that bridge with her because I knew how I felt and I had made the decision.

But when I came to Florida, and I had that first visit with him, and I told them that I was denying this, this, that, and the other thing, and then he said, oh, I see here your o negative. Well, let me order you the RhoGam shot.

Now for those of you who don’t know, RhoGam in The United States is offered at two points, twenty eight weeks between twenty eight and thirty eight weeks, usually at your twenty eight week appointment. And then at birth, if your baby happens to be positive, it’ll be offered to you again.

So I just want you as I’m talking about this, I’m going to be discussing what’s happening here in The United States. I will touch on the rest of the world later. So when I went into this consultation with him and I tell him, yeah, well, I’m not taking anything while the baby’s in utero, that is when he laid all his cards out on the table and so did I. And he said to me, well, you’re killing all of your future babies.

And I just looked at him and I said, I’ve done my research. And in not so many words, he told me that I was ignorant, that I didn’t know what I was talking about. And then that is when he proceeded to say, I hope you know, you’re killing all of your future babies.

Well, as you can imagine, I walked out of there and I never went back. And that is when I decided to really take control, utilize the tool of informed consent, and make my own decisions. And that’s when I decided to go to a midwifery practice and all the things. And you can listen to my birth story. I have a podcast episode all about it, that I put out last month. It’ll give you all the details. But if you haven’t listened to that yet, that’s the long of the short of how I got here on this road jam journey. And the reason why I’m so adamant about this is because a lot of people and and why I’m so such a big proponent of informed consent is that a lot of people don’t realize that all medical tests and treatments are optional.

They’re not well, at least they shouldn’t be. Right? Nothing should be mandated. And a lot of health care professionals, they don’t present it that way. They have a way of fearmongering you, of making you feel inferior. You know, you didn’t go to school for this. I know better kind of mentality. And you know, your body, you know, how your body reacts to things. And quite frankly, you know how you want to live out the rest of your life.

You know, when you think about people who get diagnosed with, say, stage four cancer of liver cancer, whatever it may be, there are gonna be some people who want to try and do some experimental drug that just came out and be part of a a research study. And then there are gonna be other people who say, you know what? I’m sick and tired

Maren Crowley [00:14:42]: of doing these chemo treatments and radiation. I’m just gonna live out my life, whatever God has left for me here, and I don’t I don’t want anything more in my body. I I wanna be at home. I wanna be around my family, my pets, etcetera. And so I need you to know that that you are in control, and these things that are presented to you are optional despite the doctors making you feel that they’re mandated despite the government trying to make you feel like they’re mandated.

And I really want you to as we go through this, I really want you to think, why are we making people doubt that their bodies can’t do what God designed it to do? And specifically with this, why are we thinking that women’s bodies, which were created to do the ultimate miracle, birth a child, why do we feel like they’re inferior and they they can’t perform the task that they were designed to do? Because the fact of the matter is they can. It’s just that medicine, science, technology, money, all of the things, greed, have interfered with that mindset and have muddled the truth. And the truth is your body can heal. Your body can give birth. Your body was meant to do these things. And, unfortunately, man made factors are what are inhibiting us from doing the thing that it was designed to do. So let’s talk about blood types. Now I won’t go too deep into, like, the percentages of each blood type, but, basically, you have a, b, o, and a b.

Maren Crowley [00:16:38]: And then each of those has their own rhesus antigen attached to it. And for this purpose, there’s 50 different ones, but the one that is designed for rhoGAM is d. Right? So when I talk about anti d, that’s what you’re thinking of. When when you see someone’s blood type, if it’s positive, that means that they are rhesus positive. That means that they do have rhesus factor in their blood, whereas someone who is negative does not. And d is the most important. You know, there are other factors that can play into this, but for this purpose, that is what this drug was designed to do. So these numbers are kind of changing, but at one point, 80 two percent of the world population was Rh positive, and then eighteen percent would have been Rh negative.

Maren Crowley [00:17:28]: But this number is actually decreasing, and it’s getting closer to ninety ten. So ninety percent positive, ten percent negative, which keep that in the back of your mind. So the shot is offered to neck RH negative women at twenty eight weeks, so that’s the beginning of your third trimester. And then once again, at birth if your baby happens to be positive.

Now that was one of my first red flags. And as I go through this, I’m gonna I’m gonna say flag on the play, flag on the play, red flag because I know you’re gonna hear all of the scary things. Oh, your child could have this or, you know, like I said, you could be killing all your future babies. And and that’s what the doctor and science is gonna tell you. But they don’t ever wanna talk about the red flags, and I’m here to talk about the red flags.

Because I don’t need to reiterate or have the I’m not gonna repeat all of this fear mongering tactics. I want you to have the other side of the coin so that you do have informed consent. So twenty eight weeks. Now the first red flag there is in Europe, they don’t do that. Okay? So over in Europe, it is only administered directly when blood is likely to mix after pregnancy, like during labor and delivery.

Maren Crowley [00:18:52]: I also want you to note that there are no epidemics of r h disease babies over in Europe. I remember when I was discussing this on my social media, I have a friend who’s from Scotland, and she’s like, what are you talking about? Like, we don’t we don’t get it at 28, and I started to dive more into it. And sure enough, they don’t. And right away, that’s a red flag because I know that our standards here in The United States are poor at best when it comes to our food, what we are put medicines we’re putting in people’s bodies, what we are putting on kids’ schedules to go to school, etcetera.

So I’m saying to myself, alright. Well, if Europe’s not doing that, why the heck are we? Well, let’s be real, folks. Follow the money. Right? It’s not that we’re so much more advanced than other continents because we’re not. It’s we have this greed factor as we’ve learned that controls the system.

So at twenty eight weeks, that’s when they wanna offer it to you. I personally knew that I was absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, denying the twenty eight week. I I had this little hint of fear that was in the back of my mind, and I really had to pray over it, when time came. And I found out, you know, after she was born what her blood type was, I had that little piece that was kinda hemming and hawing, and I’ll be real with you.

That first doctor had already put in the prescription for the shot. So it was already ordered. And so it got delivered to my midwife, and she was very supportive. And she said, listen. You know, you have seventy two hours after the birth to make a decision. It can be up to ten days, but they really want you to do it within the first seventy two hours for it to be the most effective. The closer it is to birth or any kind of, quote, unquote, mixing of blood that could potentially happen. I will note a very small factor.

They want it done closer to that event. Another red flag is and I found this out as I was doing my deep dive into this, and I belong to a Facebook group that is full of women who are r h negative, and just hearing their testimonies and sharing their experiences, which I believe are so important. That’s how we really learn from one another. I truly believe that’s how we learned and survived through twenty twenty twenty twenty one.

And and to this day is sharing our own personal experiences rather than just the doctors regurgitating what they’ve been told or your TV. Like, we really need to deep dive into the people. And so in this group, I was learning that there were women who had received the shot and still got sensitized. So to me, that whole idea of seventy two hours went out the window.

Right? But regardless, my midwife had it on hand. But I knew why the heck if it says in the insert, and I encourage you always to read the inserts. The inserts are black and white. K? And if it says in the insert that the shot should never be injected into the baby, Why is it okay to expose a fetus to it? How does that make any sense, especially a fetus that isn’t all the way developed? Right?

Like so if we’re not supposed to put it in babies once they’re full term, why are we injecting into the mothers, ergo, the child? I mean, they’re telling you not to have sushi, not to have, nitrates, all of the things. Right? Stay away from tuna, mercury levels. But meanwhile, it’s okay to to get the shot? That didn’t that didn’t register with me. That was another red flag. Not only that, if you read the inserts, the inserts say distinctly that the shot contains mercury. So like I said, stay away from tuna. Oh, no. But take this.

Maren Crowley [00:23:16]: Right? And, also, it contains polysorbate eighty, which is known to make women infertile. So hello? And and in my mind, I’m thinking, okay. So it let’s just talk about polysorbate eighty. It makes that’s no a known carcinogen to make women inf infertile, so obviously affecting the mother and potentially her future babies that way. Right? Oh, you’re trying to save future babies, but yet you’re potentially putting yourself at risk of not having them. And then on top of that, I want you to think about if you are having a female. If you’re having a female, your baby is carrying your future legacy. Your baby has all of its eggs in its in utero and when it’s born.

Maren Crowley [00:24:10]: So it’s kinda wild. Like, if you think about it, if you’re if you have a daughter, you are actually carrying your future. If your child decides to have children, you are actually carrying your future granddaughter or grandson. So think of it that way. If you’re injecting it into you, ergo, how is it not getting into your fetus and affecting your child’s fertility in the future? Food for thought on that.

Now the other thing, let’s go back to that doctor saying, oh, you’re killing all your future children.

Maren Crowley [00:25:24]: This was a major red flag for me aside from the fact that what doctor says those words, and I that is a direct quote. K? I am not trying to embellish what he said. That is a direct quote. So a red flag on that is we’re giving the mom a shot that she doesn’t physically benefit from. K? So if you do not get this shot and and say your blood did mix, it’s not gonna affect you personally. It you’re not gonna get sick. It it doesn’t cause any issues like that. Hold that thought though about what could happen if you do take it.

So why are we giving you something that could actually just even just cause problems? Right? You’re not gonna have any problems without it. But if you do take it, there are risk factors because I don’t care what it is, folks. There is a cause and effect. You take something, you you ingest something, you get something injected into you, there is a risk and benefit analysis that needs to be made.

And by taking RhoGam , you are putting the mother at risk of issues to come. By not taking it, nothing happens to her. K? The other red flag is you’re putting the baby that you have, and this is this was my big thing about why I didn’t take it at twenty eight weeks, is why am I gonna take something that could possibly be to the detriment of my current baby, the one that I have, the one that God gifted me? Why am I putting that baby at risk when they don’t physically benefit from it?

Because nothing happens if if in my situation, k, now I will let you know, spoiler alert,

Maren Crowley [00:27:20]: I do not have the antigen. I’ve been tested for it, twice now. I got tested at six weeks. I had no antibodies where so blood did not mix. And then I wanted to have a follow-up, so I had a follow-up again at ten months, no antibodies. So I did not take either of these shots. I am a negative blood type. My baby is a positive, and this is just my testimony, k, that I do not have any of the antibodies in me.

Maren Crowley [00:27:49]: So why would I put my baby at risk for some child that I maybe don’t know if I even want to have? Or can you imagine you’re putting that baby that you do have, that healthy baby that you were given by God at risk for someone else, it just it didn’t seem it’s not right. I’ve I’ve said what I’ve said. Like, it’s not.

So before I give you this other red flag that came up, there are tests now I personally did not go into this, but you can research it. There are tests that will somehow, they they go in and they can find out your baby’s blood type. It is not part of standard care, but they can let you know if your baby is positive or negative. I was doing research at the time, and and they said that you could ask for it in the NIPS test. Now I did get a NIPS test, but for some reason, it still didn’t come up.

Maren Crowley [00:28:59]: What maybe it’s because I didn’t ask for it. I don’t know. But long of the short, most people, let’s just say, most people are not gonna know what their future baby’s blood type is. K? So think of it this way. If I got it at twenty eight weeks being negative, and then my baby came out negative, I basically got the shot for no reason.

So I put my baby at my current baby that was in utero at risk for no reason. That’s another major red flag. And I need you to know that you don’t know, like I said, what that is doing to the future of the baby you have.

Like, what does it do? They don’t have studies on it. I’ll tell you that. Speaking of studies, now when you go into the insert, now they have had several trials. I think that’s don’t quote me, but I think it’s nine trials.

But the main trial that they have the two main trials that they mainly that that is their focus in their insert. Let this sink in. K? The initial clinical trial to approve the RhoGAM featured a 78 participants, of which 176 were men. So let me get this straight.

You have a 78 people. This is your clinical trial. This is the trial that you’re putting in the insert to basically make people feel like, oh, this is safe. This is okay. This is good. And a hundred and 70 six of them were men? You had two women? Women who actually give birth. Spoiler alert, folks. I don’t know

if you know women give birth. I know I know everyone’s trying to make you think that that’s not the case, but it is. Only women. And they were studying men. Now the second trial was 44 participants, all of which were men. No women. Zero. And the scary part, and and this happens a lot when it comes to lots of different shots they try to give you while you are pregnant, is it’s not deemed safe to do these trials on women.

I mean, think about it. Would you wanna be the guinea pig? You have the greatest gift God can give, you’re pregnant, and they’re like, oh, yeah. By the way, we wanna try this experimental drug. We’ve never done it before, but here you go. So it’s not deemed safe. It’s not it’s just not something that they like to do.

So typically, research and studies, the trials are done on men. Now they did in later trials did test on women. So, obviously, like, the shot afterwards, yada yada yada. But, like, that was a major red flag.

Maren Crowley [00:32:05]: Like, if that’s if that’s in your inserts that you’re testing dudes, I mean, come on. You have no idea what the long term studies are on the pregnant moms. You have no idea what the long term studies are on the baby. So no thank you. Thanks, but no thanks.

The other red flag as I learned in my groups on Facebook message me if you want the name of the group. I’m very skeptical to, announce what the group is here. Although, from the time that I joined to now, like, it’s grown.

It’s doubled in size, which is phenomenal. But I do get nervous to put those information that information out there because, I I do get afraid that the metaverse will shut it down, and I just think it’s such an amazing resource for women. It is fact based. And, also, like

Maren Crowley [00:32:57]: I said, you have people in there sharing their testimonies, people who have gotten it, people who have not gotten it, people who got it for the first few, then stop doing it or, you know, whatever it may be, people who have been sensitized, people who haven’t, people who got it and still got sensitized.

So in this group, one of the major red flags that I saw was from women, and it straight up in the insert. K? When you were reading about side effects let me just read a few of them to you. K? Fever.

If you know you know when you’re pregnant, the of having a fever is literally the worst possible thing for you and your baby. It is dangerous, and it’s just literally the worst. So if that’s one of your major side effects, hello, back pain, swelling, inflammation. Oh, I wonder why. Because it’s a foreign object and maybe it’s your body telling you WTF is this.

Like, why why did you give me this? I’m just saying because that’s what inflammation is. Inflammation is your body’s response to something foreign that it does not like. Rapid heart rate, shaking, signs of kidney failure.

Oh, awesome. Vomiting, nausea, etcetera. And a lot of the women in the group, they talked about how they had autoimmune responses like you couldn’t believe. I’m talking all of a sudden having eczema, rheumatoid arthritis.

You name it, they had it. Right? And for me, as someone who’s missing a thyroid who already battles autoimmune issues, I’m saying to myself, why am I gonna throw gasoline on an already burning fire? Like, if I can’t take care of myself after I have this baby because I I took this shot on the what ifs. Right? Who is that serving? It’s not serving me, and it’s certainly not serving the baby. Like, I need to be around for this child. I need to be the best mom that I can be for him or her.

I didn’t know at the time if it was a boy or a girl. She’s a girl. I I need to be around for her, and I give I need to give her my 100%. So the risk of having these side effects was an absolute no no for me. The other red flag was they talk a lot about blood mixing. And if you look at blood mixing, it’s any kind of event. I mean, literally, it’s just birth. Like right?

So it could be something as scary as being in a car accident while you’re pregnant, to any kind of medical intervention. So I will let you know too that, yes, my plan was to be in a birthing center, but I ended up in the hospital. I did have to have Pitocin. Pitocin would be considered one of those events that where blood could mix. K? Like I said, it’s literally everything under the umbrella. So take that for what it is. Talk about covering your bases.

Maren Crowley [00:36:05]: And even if I was gonna be in the birthing center, my midwife said, listen. We wanna be able to deliver that placenta quickly because we don’t want to increase the chances of it staying in you and maybe detaching and having that blood blood mix because she knew where I stood when it came to the shot.

So regardless, I was gonna have pitocin. It just so happened it got up to 10 in the hospital, which is still not a lot, and was immediately taken down once my water broke. By the time my baby was born, it was down to one. And I did deliver my placenta pretty quickly. I will say my doula, God love her, she’s strong armed the student that was in the room because she was trying to manually pull out my placenta.

And that was like, hello, no. And my doula intervened. And then the doctor ended up delivering my placenta. No problems. Very healthy. We did delay cord clamping. I had a very short cord, so that didn’t take very long at all.

And my midwife, she was gonna do the same thing and that she wanted to get that placenta out very quickly to just minimize risk. But when you think about their risk factors, I mean, shoot, it’s like breathing.

I mean, like, literally, everything could be considered a risk of why you need this shot. And the problem with that is unless you had some sort of trauma like a car accident. So you know you got in the car accident on Sunday, you have five days, if you were to choose to do this, to take the shot.

But if you happen to have silent sensit but if you happen to have silent sensitization, which does happen, you don’t know, and then you miss your seventy two hour window. Or maybe you you fell and you’re like, it wasn’t that bad. Like and then you miss your seventy two hour window there. Like, it’s just so mind blowing to me that we have this big, big window, but yet a very small opportunity to take the drug and actually have it be effective.

And I want you to know that based on trials, eighty five to ninety two point eight percent of Rh negative women who gave birth to a positive baby, so that that would be me.

Right? I’m negative. My baby’s positive. Did not become sensitized even without taking the Rogan. So that chance of sensitization that they are scaring you into, freaking you out, is not as high as you’re led to believe. Okay. Maybe you’re saying in your head, well, shoot. I don’t I don’t wanna be in 15%. Like, maybe you said, like, 1.5, Erin.

I get it. But at the same time, I’ve also told you of women who have taken this shot and still been sensitized. So let that sink in. Now this is where these last two red flags are where my, if you know, you know, tinfoil hat comes into play. It’s a blood product.

So right there, you should have a pretty good idea where I’m going with this. Now they do say that they vet the people that they get the blood from. So the people that they’re getting the blood from do have this antibody response. Right? So these are the people who do have that antibody that they’re pulling from.

Maren Crowley [00:39:51]: Now years ago, they did have an outbreak of hepatitis c. So that’s kinda scary. Right? So now they test for that, and they do test for other things. But you and I both know that there’s constantly something new. There’s always some new disease virus that is, that is growing on our earth. They can’t possibly test for everything. So how do you know that that person doesn’t have that, that they happen to take the pool of blood from? Not only that,

Maren Crowley [00:40:29]: I don’t know about you, and this was my deciding factor, was I knew, okay. This person could be clean as clean can be. Cool. You don’t have pep c. You don’t have HIV. Great. But you got the most recent inoculation that they’ve been pushing for the last two years? No. Thank you.

I do not want that technology in me. I do not want it passed down to my baby. So right there, absolutely not. Not only that, because it’s a blood product, and I do believe that God made us with our own unique DNA, like, little unique snowflakes. Right? Well, if you’re listening to this, you’re probably not a snowflake. But you get what I’m saying. I do not believe in the mixing of human DNA. I don’t believe in it.

I think it’s wrong, and I I couldn’t get past that. And this is an interesting thing that you should know about. And like I said, this is this is the tinfoil hat coming out. In 1937, Karl Landsteiner and Alexander Wiener, they they’re the big guys behind all of this rhesus protein and the naming of it and discovering it. Right?

The rhesus protein is named for the rhesus after, I should say, the rhesus monkey because the rhesus monkey also carries this gene. So it’s a protein that lives on the surface of the red blood cells, and this is gonna shock you. But if you’re Rh positive, that means that you have this monkey protein on your cells. And I told you, I believe where we came from.

Maren Crowley [00:42:33]: I believe that God created us. I don’t believe that I came from a monkey. K? Although they want you to believe that. Right? Like, why why is this drug pushed so much? Why are they trying to put this RH negative? Why is this pushed so much? Why are they trying to push Rh negative women into having Rh positive blood in them? Why? I told you before that the number of Rh negative people is decreasing.

Maren Crowley [00:43:13]: Why is it that we’re getting closer and closer to that number of ninety percent of the population having monkey blood? And you know I always talk about the two percent. It’s not even two percent, folks. It’s, like, point zero two percent who rule the world. I’m just gonna put this out there. I’d be very interested to see what blood type those folks are. I’m just saying. That’s just some food for thought. So like I said, I don’t believe in taking a blood product.

Maren Crowley [00:43:47]: I don’t believe in the mixing of human DNA. I don’t believe in having the new technology in my body, and I don’t believe that God makes mistakes. So overall, this is what I have to say. In making any decision for yourself and your child, please look at both sides of the coin. You know what information the doctors are going to give you? Y

ou know what they’re going to tell you? They’re going to be reading it from a script. It’s up to you. If you truly want to have informed consent for you to do the hard work and yes, it is going to be a difficult decision, but you need to trust your intuition. You need to remove the fear and think about these things logically.

Maren Crowley [00:44:44]: I told you that this drug needs to be administered within the first seventy two hours.

Do you wanna know how they came up with that number? They were testing it on prisoners, and that’s when they would do it. One of the big trials was at Sing Sing Prison. They were testing it on them, and it happened to be in the five days.

That’s that’s how they came up with that random number of folks. So between that, the fact that I said that people are getting sensitized even when they’ve gotten it, the fact that I told you that you could be potentially getting blood from people who have this new technology in them, that you’re mixing DNA from different people and putting it in your body, the fact that you are putting yourself at risk of something that you do not have any chance of getting sick from, that the drug is the only thing that could cause you to be sick, the fact that you are putting your child at risk of something that they would not get sick from.

For a baby that you might not know if you wanna have and might not ever need it either because they could be negative. Remember, when you are a negative blood type mother and when you have a spouse or a partner that is positive, there is always a chance that your baby can come out negative. I’m living proof of that.

My dad’s a positive. My mom is o negative. So why put yourself, your current baby that God gave you at risk, for something that may or may not happen in the future? And it’s certainly, at the very least, I personally would wait.

Wait to find out. Take the time to do your research. Once you find out that you are pregnant and you know that you’re negative and you know make sure your spouse or partner gets tested, find out what their blood type is, cause you could be having this worry for no reason.

Maren Crowley [00:46:43]: If they’re negative too, then you definitely don’t need it. Take these forty weeks to do your research, be informed, be educated, pray over it, and God will not let you down. He will let you know what you’re supposed to do. Lean into him.

Do not lean into the medicine and and the pharma and the money and the greed. And and remember, why do we have different standards here than they do in Europe? Why are they doing it differently over there?

Why are there no epidemics of this size over there? They’re not giving it to women twice or if at all, if it’s not even needed. Why is it that I was born in ’86 and they didn’t do it at 28 now? They do. Don’t tell me.

Do not tell me is that they’ve had more time and more research, because guess what? They have not been doing research on this. Why? Because I told you that it is not something that they can test on women.

It’s not something that they, in good conscious, can test on pregnant women. So don’t tell me that they’ve made more developments in the last thirty five years because they did not offer this thirty five years ago at twenty eight weeks.

Please reach out to me. I highly recommend that you do your research. There is a group on Facebook. Like I said, it’s pretty similar to what the name of this podcast episode is.

I also recommend you read Anti-D Explained by doctor Sarah Wickham. She will give you a layout of all of the studies that are done, and she will give you all of the positives and negatives so you can have informed consent.

And I also recommend you ask for the insert on the drug. There are different types of it, meaning different brands, and there are also different dosages. That’s something else that you need to research, but get the insert and read it for yourself. It’s in black and white.

There’s no no doubt about it. And once you do that, you will have the confidence to go into this knowing that you are making the right decision, whatever it may be.

But at least do your research so you can say that you are truly informed. I hope this was beneficial for you. Please be sure to share it with someone that may need to hear this, and I’ll see you next week
