Hii
anti D injection only needed if your husband blood group is any positive like o+ve, B +ve etc.
It is given to avoid any direct blood contamination in your baby.
Usually it is recommended that it is given at 28 eek of pregnancy and 2nd dose at time of delivery.
After injection there is no chance of any complication.
so consult your gynecologist.
Thank you.
