...discussion of Rh factor in the insert about amniocentesis needs clarification. The mother's blood cells do not destroy antibodies in the baby's blood. Blood cells of the baby that leak into the mother's circulation, during gestation or at the time of birth, stimulate antibody production on the mother's part. These antibodies, which can enter the fetus's circulation, then destroy the baby's red blood cells. Furthermore, it should be made clear that any transfusions that are performed are done at birth, not intra-uterinely. Mark R. Burns...
Amniocentesis is a process that now enables doctors to detect a certain limited number of genetic defects before birth. With the development and perfection of the technique, amniocentesis could be made widely available to determine any number of things about the fetus, including genetic defects, Rh incompatability between the fetus and the mother, and even the sex, eye color, and future height of the unborn child...
...chromosomal makeup well within the time limits required for a safe abortion that makes amniocentesis so valuable for those engaged in genetic counselling. The procedure became a viable one in the early sixties, when doctors discovered that they could determine from the amniotic fluid if there would be an Rh complication during delivery...
...baby with Rh-positive blood being carried by a mother with an Rh-negative blood runs a high risk of a complicated development and possible death because the mother's blood cells tend to destroy antibodies in the baby's blood. Using amniocentesis, the extent to which this is taking place can be determined, and if necessary, transfusions can be given to the baby. This use of amniocentesis is fairly common--thousands of pregnant women with potential Rh-incompatability are tested every year, and the necessary transfusions are performed...
