A Rhesus negative woman may experience stillbirth of the second child that is Rhesus positive because
A.
the foetus is deprived of nourishment
B.
they have poor circulatory system
C.
the blood of the foetus might clump
D.
the woman is susceptible to diseases during pregnancy
Correct answer is C
The stillbirth of a second child that is Rh-positive in an Rh-negative woman can occur due to the clumping of fetal blood caused by the production of Rh antibodies in the mother's immune system during a previous pregnancy with an Rh-positive baby. This condition, known as hemolytic disease of the newborn, can be prevented with appropriate medical interventions like Rh immunoglobulin injections.
