i have a problem, you might be able to help me with. we live in northern ohio. about 1 1/2 hours south of cleveland, I'm planning a homebirth, and i'm RH-. this is becoming an issue, since as you know, homebirth midwives in ohio can not legally "practice medicine". my local health department can do the PKU test for the baby but can't do Rhogam for me unless i become their patient. i am planning on skipping the 28 week dose of rhogam and only getting it after the baby comes "just in case" our blood mixes. my husband had a positive blood type, so chances are the baby will not be Rh- like me. heres my question (finally), what does your midwife do for her moms that are RH-? I am the first patient of my midwife who is in my particular county, and we can't figure out the rules here... i'm curious what other midwives do about this. Thanks for letting me pick your brain so much.
