Perform blood group tests, Rh factor, hematology... to help screen and detect genetic diseases related to blood in mother and fetus. Blood testing during pregnancy is a must for pregnant women.1. Why is it necessary to have a blood group test during pregnancy?
Blood group test is the first test that pregnant women need to do to be checked and determine their blood group, in case a blood transfusion is needed during pregnancy and delivery. An equally important factor in blood tests is the determination of Rh + and Rh- factors to detect and screen for blood group incompatibilities between the mother and the fetus. From there, there is a timely solution, ensuring safety and maximum comprehensive development for the fetus during pregnancy.
When testing blood group, pregnant women will determine whether they belong to the RH- or Rh+ group. When the mother has RH- blood group and the child inherits from the father with RH + group, the possibility of blood group incompatibility will occur, especially for the second pregnant mother. This disagreement causes anemia, hemolysis in the fetus, endangering the health and life of the mother as well as the fetus.
The danger of blood group incompatibility between the mother and the fetus may not occur at the first birth because the mother's blood has not yet produced antibodies against the baby's red blood cells for the first time. But the danger will definitely increase in later births, the antibodies from the mother's blood will destroy the baby's red blood cells with Rh + factor, causing hemolysis, anemia.

It is imperative to proactively prevent the risk to the fetus when the mother has Rh-. Pregnant women need to be vaccinated with Rh immunity at 25-28 weeks of pregnancy. This type of immunity will have the function of protecting the Rh+ cells existing in the mother's blood vessels, preventing them from being recognized as foreign objects. Without the anti-Rh factor, antibodies would not be formed.Antibodies are injected into the mother's body with the following conditions:
