It wouldn't hurt to ask, but I had mine closer to 29 weeks, I believe. My memory is shot

if its worrying you hun give her a call, she's either going to tell you to come in the week before or to wait until the original date of ur next a/n. either way im sure she's had many a call from worried mums-to-be and its part of her job to reassure you X

29 weeks is fine - The full dosage of anti D needs to be administered by 34 weeks (some Health authorities still offer anti D at 28 and 34 weeks, but the dose is split. Most now though give a single dose at 28 weeks, as its been found to be just as effective).

my aunt had her 28 week appointment there and the midwife mentioned she was rh negative but never mentioned an injection. Shes already got 3 kids and just got the injection after birth with all them

Was her OH a Negative blood group too?
-Where the father is also Rhs Negative the baby can't have a positive blood group, so the injection is not needed as they won't beforming the anti-bodies against their baby.

Hi Hun, I'm RH negative and got mine done at 29 weeks they have changed it to single dose now, and they monitor you for 20 mins after they have given you the injection and they also give it you after you have your babie
