Okay...I reread your post and I misunderstood. You were talking about what blood type your baby would be because of the combination of you and your husband's blood type. Duh! Ignore what I said about my husband's blood type :) You said you have a 3 year old daughter....did you have the shot with her?
Please accept my apology. I don't check this thread nearly as often as I should. But I'm here now. You will find so many different "causes" of CH. But it has been my experience that this condition has no limitations. It can, and does, effect people of all sorts. I have also read about the Rhogam incompatibility but was never given that as an actual cause for the condition. So it's entirely possible. I did have a Rhogam shot with both of my children. I was under the impression that it didn't have anything to do with my husband's blood type, just mine. But I will research that further today. I'm A neg if that helps you at all. The rhogam shot is fairly common practice, so I'm sure if your OB says you don't need it, you probably don't. But like I said, I'll do a little research today and see if I can come up with any good information for you.
I know Feb 1st seems like a million years away. Oh I remember that feeling! I felt like all I did was wait. If I wasn't waiting for a test, I was waiting for the results of that test. Just hang in there, stay positive. Easier said than done I know. But you've taken the time to read these stories and there are a lot of positive outcomes and I hope you can find some comfort in that :) I'm so glad you found this thread and now that I know you're on here, I will be checking back daily. I'm so sorry it took me so long to see your post and get back to you. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to message me. We all know what you're going through and how agonizing it is. Take care momma, best of luck on the 1st. I will certainly have you and your sweet babe in my thoughts that day!

i wish someone would post here. i read all the blogs and i feel like i know everyone of u. i talked to my ob about my blood type. he said its not relevent in my case but did agree with me. ch can be caused by rh incompatibilty.
neways. i have a amnio feb 1st. it feels like its forever away. starting to feel the baby moving alot stronger, but still very worried. i hate that i have to wait so long. i know its in the Lords hands. to all the mothers who had good outcomes CONGRATS!
Hi ! does anyone still post here? i'm 27, married, have a 3 year old daughter,and i am 14 weeks pregnant with a little angel that has a 7.6 hygroma. Its on the back of the head down to the tail bone. of course we are keeping it. praying for a miracle. Meagan, your stories is similar and very encouraging. i am also negative rhogan negative. ive done research on CH and my blood type. my husband is A neg also. my original ob said i didnt need a rhogam shot seeing that my husband is A neg. but through my research i found out that a A neg and a A neg can make either a A neg or O neg. O neg i dont beleive is compatible with A neg. confusing. but i came accross a web site that said if there is no shot with a blood type like mine, it could result in fluid buid up in the fetus and possible death.CH. what do you think? did you have the shot with your lil girl?
Oh what wonderful news!!!!!!!!! A million congratulations on the birth of your beautiful, HEALTHY boy! I'm just so thrilled for you! I'm so so so happy to add him to the list of miracles! Yet another story of hope. Thank you so much for the update....I live for posts like this :) Congratulations again momma! Give sweet Vincent a big squeeze for me!!!
