Should you have anti-D injection after miscarriage?

Can an anti-D injection harm my baby?

Can anti-D be given early?

Do I need anti-D for every pregnancy?
RAADP is recommended for all pregnant RhD negative women who haven’t been sensitised to the RhD antigen, even if you previously had an injection of anti-D immunoglobulin. As RAADP doesn’t offer lifelong protection against rhesus disease, it will be offered every time you become pregnant if you meet these criteria.
