I am Rh-, and it's not a problem to the first baby that you have if it is Rh+, but if you get exposed to the Rh+ blood and you go to have another baby (and it is Rh+), it is really dangerous to the fetus. I have a medical card just to identify myself as an Rh-. After my miscarriage I had to get a shot, and was closely monitored for my second pregnancy. After baby was born, I had to get another shot to safeguard against this.
Fun fact, I have the second rarest blood type because of the Rh-.
Edit after reading the Wiki: Holy shit, I got RhoGAM shots, so this man is the source of what saved my baby. <3 Thanks, James!

I'm just glad to hear that his antibodies have been reverse-engineered, so that when he dies we don't suddenly have the same problem again.
