Rhogam it's an injection given to women immediately after childbirth. The reason is because the mother's blood is RH negative (blood type: 0-, A-, B-, or AB-). Most parents are both RH POSITIVE. Even parents that are both RH negative, no injection is needed. When mom is negative and dad is positive, baby is usually positive, too. The problem occurs when a mom gives birth and both mom and baby's blood mixes. At that time, the mom's natural defense mechanism kicks in. It creates antibodies to fight off the rh + baby. The real threat occurs with subsequent pregnancies, where antibodies will attack the fetus because of it's rh+. Rhogam is given to prevent the formation of antibodies that could threaten the lives of future children.
