Here is a super huge rhogam thread.

I did NOT get prenatal rhogam, but I did receive it post partum, after my baby typed positive. My full response is on page 2.

A friend of mine was looking up something else, and stumbled across this - I thought it might add another interesting component to this discussion....

I hadn't heard about any risks involved with the Rhogam shot. I'm A-, but DH is O-, so I don't have to get the shot (I decline it because it's just totally unnecessary in our case. If DH were +, I would get the shot).

wow! I thought we were the only ones. EVERYONE is shocked when I tell them that both DH and I are - blood types...therefore don't need the shot. The doctor told me it was a 2% chance that two negative blood types would find one another and make a baby. cool, eH?
