Hello! My cousin is pregnant and she is in the 7th month of pregnancy. I heard that she got rogham shot, so that she would avoid sentization. The thing is that these two terms are unknown to me ( rogham and sentization), so I was wondering if there was somebody who can tell me something about it. Thx heaps!
I may try to explain to you what is going on when a woman who is rh negative gets pregnant with the baby who is rh positive. It may happen that in some cases baby’e blood leaks into a mother’s system and the mother’s body would then produce antibodies to the rh D factor. The production of these antibodies is called sentization. These antibodies can cross the placenta and destroy the red blood cells in your unborn baby or in the next Rh-positive baby you have.Rogham shot is a medical treatment that prevents the mother's immune system from responding to the Rh positive blood of her child as a foreign threat and attacking it with antibodies. Ever since this shot was invented, the risk of jaundice, hypotonia, and motormental retardation from Rh incompatibility between a mother and fetus has been almost eliminated.
