It's kind of interesting that everyone keeps bringing up the Rh factor.  I
am a A- mother, three of my four children were positive, including Zachary.
I did receive the shot each pregnancy and then another shot after each
delivery, except for my second son who was born A-.
I keep asking doctor after doctor if this could have caused any problems and
they keep reassuring me that it didn't.
Who knows anymore.?
