Yes, also Rh sensitization, rare nowadays thanks to Rhogam.  Nearly all
Rh babies need to come early (before 38 weeks) as Rh disease can hit
fast and nasty at full-term.  BTDT.  We were hoping to get my Rh baby to
37 weeks but it didn't quite happen, he needed to come out suddenly at
31.5 weeks.  He didn't breastfeed well until 38 weeks.
