A quick reminder that we have an Anti-D (RhoGAM) information hub, which offers links to all of the Anti-D resources on my website.
This topic is one that I have been researching for many years and in 2021 I published a brand new book on this topic, Anti-D Explained.
Anti-D (also known as RhoGAM) is a medicine made from blood.
It is offered to rhesus negative women who may have been exposed to rhesus positive blood.
The most likely time for this to happen is during birth.
Anti-D is offered at several points during pregnancy and after birth.
It is given to prevent the woman becoming sensitised to the rhesus factor, which may cause a problem for any future rhesus positive babies.
Anti-D Explained explains the science behind this area, the history of Anti-D and the research studies that have been carried out to evaluate its effectiveness.
In Anti-D Explained, I take the reader on a journey through the research, explaining what we know and highlighting the gaps in our knowledge.
I look at the wider consequences and side effects.
Visit our information hub at https://www.sarawickham.com/topic-resources/anti-d-resources for blog posts, articles, links to the book and loads of information about Anti-D.
