oh how complicated!

so i went to the doctor on Monday for my OB appointment  and when my Dr came in he said that my blood type is A- and that i  would need to get a  RhoGAM shot. i asked him what a RhoGAM shot is and he said its a shot to stop you from forming harmful anti bodies because your Rh negative. he gave me a book that had some info on it. and from what i read. being Rh negative is sorta rare only 15 percent of the population is Rh- and what that means is that i don't have the Rh protein on my red blood cells it doesn't effect anything except pregnancy if you partner is Rh positive. if you or both positive or both negative the baby will be fine but if you differ from each other then you have to get a shot because its possible that the baby and your blood aren't compatible and your cells will attack it and causes anemia, bleeding on the brain or even death. thankfully those complications are rare because of the shot and even more rare because this is my first pregnancy and the baby and my blood have not had a chance to mix yet. but in my other pregnancies i will have to get the shot at 12 weeks because there will be antibodies left over from the first one and they cant do harm it gets more dangerous with each one. well enough about that. yesterday i had to take the 1 hour glucose test and i FAILED! my blood sugar was 148 my Dr said that's a bit too high for his liking. so now i have to do the three hour test no thanks! im going to have my finger pricked three more times. i bruise so easily that i can barely use the finger that they poked yesterday. i cant even imagine having to give my self shots i hate needles and i hate that they bruise me so bad. well here's hoping that everything will be okay!
