When is it unnecessary to consider RhIg for a Rh-negative mother?

In the context of Rh immunoprophylaxis, it is essential to understand the circumstances under which Rh immunoglobulin (RhIg) is warranted for Rh-negative mothers. When an Rh-negative mother has a previous pregnancy that resulted in an Rh-negative baby, there is typically no need for RhIg administration. The reason for this is that the mother, having already given birth to an Rh-negative infant, is unlikely to have been sensitized to the Rh factor. If she has not been sensitized, the risk of her developing anti-D antibodies from a subsequent Rh-positive pregnancy is significantly reduced.

This contrasts with situations where a Rh-negative mother has a Rh-positive baby, has had previous pregnancies with Rh-positive infants, or has a known history of developing anti-D antibodies, all of which warrant consideration for RhIg to prevent sensitization and potential complications in future pregnancies.
