If your blood mixes with Rh-positive blood, your immune system will react to the Rh factor by making antibodies to destroy it. This immune system response is called Rh sensitization. Rh sensitization can occur during pregnancy if you are Rh-negative and pregnant with a developing baby (fetus) who has Rh-positive blood.
Early in your pregnancy your blood will be tested to determine your blood type and your Rh status â that is, whether you have the Rh (Rhesus) factor, a protein that most people have on the surface of their red blood cells.
