Abstract

Rh incompatibility occurs during pregnancy. Rh antibodies cross the placenta and attack the baby's red blood cells leading to Hemolytic anemia. With Rh incompatibility, the woman's immune system reacts and creates Rh antibodies. Rh incompatibility happens only when the father of the baby is Rh-positive. Difference in blood type between a pregnant woman and her child causes Rh incompatibility. Nurse plays a vital role to offer psychological support to the mother and also to the members of the family.
