Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1] You are absolutely right about your concern.
2] I will suggest to get Indirect Coomb's test done after 20 weeks and repeat every 4 weeks. If it is negative I usually suggest Injection Rhogam at 28 weeks.In this situation you need not worry.
3] In case of positive Test, you need help of expert in the field of fetal medicine who are trained for intrauterine fetal exchange transfusions.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
Dr Purushottam
