My wife is 29 week pregnant , doctor asked for ICT teat , I got report and ICT is positive, wanted to know what harm it can do for child.

Question

Hello,
all pregnant women have an indirect coombs' test during early pregnancy. At the first prenatal visit, your blood is tested to see if you have been previously sensitized to rh-positive blood. If you are rh-negative and test results show that you are not sensitized, a repeat test may be done between 24 and 28 weeks.
An abnormal (positive) result means that the mother has developed antibodies to the fetal red blood cells and is sensitized. However, a positive coombs' test only indicates that an rh-positive fetus has a possibility of being harmed. A positive test cannot indicate the amount of fetal harm that has occurred or is likely to occur.
If test results show that antibody amounts are increasing during pregnancy, the fetus may be at greater risk of harm.
A fetus who is rh-negative will not be harmed, even if the mother is sensitized.
