Life List #11

11) Know my blood type.

One of the things you need to know once you get pregnant is your blood type. And your husband's.

Surprisingly, I didn't know what mine was since I haven't been able to give blood for so many years. ( I traveled to Yemen several times in the late nineties and due to all kinds of vaccinations you need.) Turns out, I'm RH- and my husband is positive.

No big deal, just means I need to get a Rhogam shot. Which some on Twitter were saying is quite unpleasant. So, we'll just add that to the list of other things that are unpleasant about being pregnant, shall we?

I kid, I kid. (sort of). But, now I know. And, so does the husband.

I'm RH- too and I'm dreading that shot! I saw all the comments on twitter and I'm not looking forward to it at all.
