Abstract
Rh negative pregnancy is considered high risk pregnancy because it causes fetal and maternal complications due to isoimmunisation. Incidence in India is about 5‐7%. To study the various maternal and fetal complications in Rh negative pregnancies. This is a retrospective study from 2017 march to 2018 february, conducted in PMCH Obs and Gynae Department on 100 Rh negative mothers. Perinatal outcome was studied in relation to mean gestational age at the time of delivery,mean birth weight,need of nicu admission,iud,stillbirth,hyperbilirubinemia,fetal anemia,neonatal death,etc. Total 100 women were included in the study who had incompatible mating. Out of them 68%had vaginal delivery and 32% had caesarian section. Mean birth weight of babies delivered was 2.9kg.28%babies had low birth weight. 32%patients had preterm delivery,64% delivered at term.2% had postdated pregnancy, IUD was seen in 6% cases .There was 1 case of hydrops fetalis. NICU admission was required in 7% newborns,4% newborns had neonatal anemia, 10% newborns developed neonatal jaundice. 4% neonates required phototherapy, 1% required exchange transfusion. Rh isoimmunisation is a preventable cause of fetal morbidity and mortality. Proper counseling, timely screening ,proper fetal and neonatal monitoring, timely intervention and anti D IgG prophylaxis decreases the burden of the disease.
