A Rhesus negative woman may experience stillbirth of the second child that is Rhesus positive because
- the foetus is deprived of nourishment
- they have poor circulatory system
-
the blood of the foetus might clump
- the woman is susceptible to diseases during pregnancy
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
The stillbirth of a second child that is Rh-positive in an Rh-negative woman can occur due to the clumping of fetal blood caused by the production of Rh antibodies in the mother's immune system during a previous pregnancy with an Rh-positive baby. This condition, known as hemolytic disease of the newborn, can be prevented with appropriate medical interventions like Rh immunoglobulin injections.
