What happens if a mother is Rhesus -ve and a baby is Rhesus +ve?
The babies RBCs will cause the mother to develop antibodies to the D antigen (no problem with first child). If 2nd child is Rhesus +ve, the antibodies cross the placenta and attack RBCs of the baby. This destroys RBC and causes anaemia and jaundice
