Step 1

During pregnancy of a woman with a Rh negative blood, the fetus can have Rh positive blood when the father is Rh positive. There can be the crossing of the fetal blood cells into the blood of the mother during the course of preganancy and birth. When it takes place, the Rh positive blood of the fetus is treated as enemy cells by the immune system of the mother. Then the body of the mother starts to produce the antibodies for destroying the enemy cells.
