Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Check fetus blood group. It could be Rh positive.
2. Antibodies can be removed if required by plasmapheresis
3. Need to wait and watch for further rise of antibody screen and correlation with fetal Rh is essential. Not to worry. Baby will be ok.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
