If your blood type is RH negative, know that doctors usually advise women who have undergone a surgical abortion, miscarriage or childbirth to take an injection of Human Immunoglobulin-Anti-D. This needs to be done because if the embryo happens to have a RH + blood type that comes into contact with the RH negative blood type from the woman, she might develop antibodies in her blood that can affect the next baby born.
However, researches on medical abortion and miscarriage during the first trimester (first 12 weeks) have shown that there is little contact or no contact al all between the blood of the woman and the embryo’s and that the woman don’t produce enough antibodies that may affect the next embryo. (29)
For this reason we do not recommend an injection of Human Immunoglobulin-Anti-D. But if you feel insecure, you should get medical advice soon after making a medical abortion. Just say you had a miscarriage and that your blood type is RH-, the doctor can decide whether or not you should get an injection of Human Immunoglobulin-Anti-D.

The scientific evidence that the administration of Human Immunoglobulin-Anti-D for vaginal bleeding during the first trimester, prevents the sensitisation in women or the development of hemolytic disease (even Erythroblastosis Fetalis) in the newborn are minimal. The practice of administrating Human Immunoglobulin-Anti-D in women with spontaneous first-trimester abortions is based on expert opinion and extrapolation of the experience with maternal and fetal bleeding in advanced pregnancies. Its use for the first trimester bleeding is not an evidence-based fact. (29)
The doctor has always an ethical and moral commitment to provide you with medical care.
In countries with legal restrictions and abortion policies, you must say you THINK you had a miscarriage. This is a very common event and no doctor or nurse can deny you the treatment or force you to undergo to discriminatory therapy that can cause physical or psychological trauma.
If you feel that you have been deprived of your basic rights by being a victim of an humiliating or painful treatment, do not remain silent and REPORT those who were involved to the competent authorities or regulatory agencies. Your complaint will help to improve the standards of medical care.
The MEDICAL CONFIDENTIALITY is an OBLIGATION and a RIGHT towards the patient.
If you are a victim of any breach of medical confidentiality, you should not only report it to the competent authorities but also bring the matter to justice. Find a lawyer and ask for a compensation. In most countries the breach of confidentiality between doctor and patient is subject to criminal penalties, including the payment of fines and prision.
