Answers:
A Rh-positive baby is born to an Rh-negative mother, will run the risk of developing Rh disease. Only Rh-negative women risk having children with the Rhesus factor disease; Rh-positive women do not. For a Rh-negative woman to have a Rh-positive child, the father must have been Rh-positive. A Rh-positive man has a 50% chance of passing on his Rh-positive blood type to the child.
I think one of your parents needed to be RH, for you to be RH negative, then it I would hazard a guess that your father was RH positive.
Speak to your doctor, and ask him the risks to your baby, I think there is a injection that can help prevent any problems, and your gynecologist needs to be aware of you blood type. Health Question & Answer
