Srushti Hospital and IVF Center in Thergaon, PCMC, manages Rh-negative pregnancy under Dr. Nikhil A. Mahadar, gynecologist in PCMC, covering blood typing, antibody screening and Anti-D prevention for couples in PCMC and Pune.
What Is Rh-Negative Pregnancy?
Rh factor is a protein found on the surface of red blood cells. Most people have it and are Rh-positive. Some people do not have it and are Rh-negative. This becomes relevant in pregnancy when the mother is Rh-negative and the baby, having inherited the Rh-positive gene from the father, is Rh-positive. This combination is called Rh incompatibility.
As a gynecologist in PCMC, Dr. Nikhil A. Mahadar checks blood type and Rh factor at the first antenatal visit, since knowing this early allows straightforward prevention rather than reacting to a problem later.
Why This Matters: Sensitisation
If a small amount of the baby’s Rh-positive blood mixes with the mother’s Rh-negative blood, which can happen during delivery, a miscarriage, certain prenatal tests or, less commonly, trauma during pregnancy, the mother’s immune system can develop antibodies against Rh-positive blood. This is called sensitisation.
A first pregnancy with Rh incompatibility is generally not harmed by this, since sensitisation takes time to develop after exposure and usually occurs around the time of delivery. The real concern is a future pregnancy: if the mother is sensitised and carries another Rh-positive baby, those antibodies can cross the placenta and attack the baby’s red blood cells. This is why prevention matters even when the current pregnancy looks straightforward.

How It Is Screened and Monitored
- Blood type and Rh factor testing. Done at the first antenatal visit for every pregnancy.
- Partner testing. If the father is also Rh-negative, the baby cannot be Rh-positive. There is no incompatibility risk at all.
- Antibody screening. A blood test, generally repeated during pregnancy, to check whether sensitisation has occurred.

Preventing Sensitisation: The Anti-D Injection
Anti-D immunoglobulin is an injection given to Rh-negative mothers to prevent their immune system from forming antibodies against Rh-positive blood in the first place. It is generally given at a routine point in pregnancy, again after delivery once the baby’s Rh status is confirmed, as well as after any event during pregnancy that could allow the baby’s blood to mix with the mother’s, such as bleeding, a miscarriage, or certain prenatal procedures.
This single preventive step is why Rh incompatibility, once a serious risk to later pregnancies, is now managed routinely and successfully in the vast majority of cases.
If Sensitisation Has Already Occurred
This is uncommon with routine antenatal care and Anti-D prevention, but if it happens, the pregnancy needs closer monitoring, generally with more frequent ultrasound and, in some cases, referral to a fetal medicine specialist for specialised assessment and treatment. Dr. Mahadar coordinates this referral directly rather than managing a sensitised pregnancy without that specialised input.

Frequently Asked Questions
It means your blood lacks the Rh protein. This only becomes relevant if your baby is Rh-positive, inherited from an Rh-positive father, which creates a combination called Rh incompatibility.
Generally not. Sensitisation, the process that creates risk for future pregnancies, usually has not yet developed during a first pregnancy, particularly with routine Anti-D prevention in place.
It is an injection given to Rh-negative mothers to prevent their immune system from developing antibodies against Rh-positive blood, generally given at a routine point in pregnancy and again after delivery.
Generally not, since if both parents are Rh-negative, the baby will also be Rh-negative. There is no incompatibility risk. Dr. Mahadar can confirm this with partner testing.
This is uncommon with routine care. If it occurs, the pregnancy needs closer monitoring. Dr. Mahadar coordinates referral to a fetal medicine specialist for specialised assessment.
