Hi Megan There is a chance of the mother developing antibodies(iso-immunization) against the baby in that and / or subsequent pregnancies. An injection of Anti-D can stop this happening but that is why it is important to at least be seen by a doctor after miscarriage, rather than just letting nature take it's course and staying home.If you didn't know your blood group at that time, they would test it and you should have the result within the time frame for receiving the Anti-D i.e. 72 hours. This is the treatment I am used to anyway....... Correct me if i'm wrong anyone out there......I am sure you will!!
