O negative misscarriage

Yesterday, I went to the emergency room because I was bleeding a lot and had some small blood clots. I was bleeding two days before that but it was spotting on the first day a light pink, and the next day was a dark brown. I just thought it was because I was nervous about going to my hometown that I haven't been to in seven years. I was only eight weeks so I thought that was normal but I ended up having a miscarriage.
The doctor said that I had the miscarriage after six weeks and three days and that my body was now going through the miscarriage process.
But I also had a ultrasound (both kinds) at six weeks three days. The night before I had the ultra sound I had sex with the baby's father and was lightly spotting afterwards.
So when I had the ultrasound the next day I asked the nurse if bleeding after sex was normal during pregnancy. (Which she said it was.)
The er doctor told me that my blood was O negative and the baby had positive, and my blood was fighting off the baby. I was devastated as seeing I was really happy that I was finally pregnant (Which I never thought was going to happen). Which later that night I found out that the baby's father's blood was B positive.
My mother, the baby's father, and my cousin and his wife all told me that it wasn't my fault for miscarrying the baby. But I still blame myself since I didn't get the bleeding at six weeks and three days checked out, cause I might have been able to prevent the miscarriage with the shot that thy usually would give someone with that Rh negative. Cause today I read somewhere that they could have given the shot earlier if bleeding.
Did anyone with o negative had a successful pregnancy after a miscarriage?

sorry for the spelling error, let me re-word this:

He confirmed that my blood, and the blood of the baby can come into contact, but it's after the 12 week mark and onwards. This would not happen before the 9 weeks and under, this is the reason why women are given the shot from 12 weeks and onwards, this would wouldn't be the reason of your miscarriage.

Dear Fall21

I have spoken to a senior doctor at the hospital regarding miscarriage and having a negative blood type.

He confirmed that my blood of the blood of the baby can come into contact, but it's after the 12 week mark and onwards. This would not happen before the 9 weeks and under, this is the reason why women are given the shot from 12 weeks and onwards, this would wouldn't be the reason of your miscarriage.

I would suggest speaking to your doctor and asking for this to done as sson as possible, mainly for peace of mind and for when you next fall pregnant so then your not worrying making u feel confident and protected.

My mum had 3 children, am the youngest and she has a negative blood type, she was LUCKY there.

Sorry for ur loss

Hey I'm sorry for your loss. I have misscarried, but I don't have O negative blood. I'm O positive, but my sister is O negative and hasn't had a misscarriage, she had her first baby (Who has positive blood) and she just had the shots, I'm pretty sure you can get them as soon as you find out that you're pregnant, because she did (Because she was so sick she couldn't keep water down).
