I had my regular OB appt today, and found out that I tested positive for having anti-kell antibodies. I don't know the levels, and the next step is to get DH checked to see if he is kell positive or kell negative. If he is negative, then we don't need to do anything else. If he is positive, I I will have to see a MFM and likely get monitored every week.
I'm trying not to freak out, and wondering if anyone knows anything? Google is making my anxiety about this worse
ETA: fixed the title, and I now know my levels are 1:256. Still freaking out.
No advice, but I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I wonder why you'd have antibodies if your fetus wasn't positive. Did you ever get a blood transfusion?

No transfusion that I remember, but I had a c section under general anesthesia wit DS, so it's possible I got one and don't remember since the following days were kind of fuzzy.
Based on what I understand so far, if DH is positive, and DS is positive, then I de eloped the antibodies after that pregnancy, likely during the c section.
DH is trying to reassure me that everything will be fine, but I'm still really worried.
