Wow!!! Thanks for sharing!! I'm glad you fully understand the importance of this issue. I'm so so sorry you grew up with detached parents. I'm so so sorry the Rh factor affected you. :( I hope that today your are healthy and well. I agree that the RhoGAM shot is a vaccine unlike any other, with an important purpose. I truly hope it is safe. I just don't know if it is or not. I want practitioners to do a better job of explaining what this shot is, why it is needed (make sure it is needed by testing the fathers blood type), and to discuss all possible risks before giving it. And yes, I agree with you that if a Mother turns down the shot, she and her partner should be content with having one baby-as we are. Now, I want to be trusted to not get pregnant- I don't want to be sterilized against my will. My partner was perfectly fine with getting a vasectomy. Yay! :) Thanks again for your comment!!
