Mom Answers. It's not harder, there are just precautions you need to take. Have your bloodwork drawn to rule out other abnormalities, likea thyroid problem, anemia, etc. It is important to get the Rhogam shot if you are a negative blood type and your significant other is a postive. Negatuve blood type is a recessive trait, therefore its highly likely your baby will have a postivie blood type. A negative blood type means your blood cells lack a protien coating. So its important to recieve this shot before you are trying for a baby and important if you have a miscarriage. After your childs birth, you will only need the shot if your baby has a postive blood type. Best of luck to you.
