The best choice for Giovanna in this scenario is RhoGAM. RhoGAM is a medication that is given to Rh-negative mothers after delivery, abortion, or any other event that could cause the mixing of fetal and maternal blood. This medication works by preventing the mother’s immune system from recognizing the Rh factor in the baby’s blood as an invader and producing antibodies that could harm future Rh-positive babies. This way, even if the mother becomes pregnant with another Rh-incompatible baby, her immune system will not attack it and harm the baby.
