So I have A- blood and Pedja has A+ blood. It is highly likely that baby m will have A+ blood like daddy.
These days, all mommies with any - blood type need to get a Rhogam shot at 28 weeks.
It has no side effects for me or baby m, but it protects me from building up any antibodies to fight against the baby should any of it's blood leak into my system for any reason.
I had my shot yesterday and met with Ann one of the midwives that works at UCLA.
She was wonderful, patient and informative and I feel confident about delivering with them on or around January 9!
My mom came up on Monday night and was a real trooper when I dragged her to a vegan restaurant I have been wanting to try, called the vegan joint. Dinner was delish! I had fried faux chicken with brown rice and veggies and she had a lentil brown rice burger. I know this may sound terrible to all my meat eating friends, but it was super! She spent the night with us and I took the day off of work so we got to spend a wonderful day together yesterday. The weather was over 80 (yes thats october in LA!) and we spent alot of the day outside in the sun walking around searching for a maternity dress for me. Not so much luck but it was still a great day. She joined me for my shot appointment and then we tried to find the labor and delivery wing so we both know where to go on the big day. Pedja and I have our tour of the wing next Monday which we are looking forward to. Now that I am over 28 weeks I have to go every 2 weeks for check ups. Everything looks good, however Im still anemic and need to up my iron intake a bit.
