i'm a bit confused.. i know why they give it, etc, but FA asked what Ig class it was, as it was getting administered to a primigravid 20 weeks along.
i knew it was igG, but i put igM but it was wrong (igG correct).
my reasoning was that igG crosses placenta, thus would bind fetal cells and kill it in utero.. obviously i'm wrong.. so how does that not happen?
i thought RHOgam was given after birth?
