Reply to What happens if a mother‘a child has a non-compatible blood type? What will happen when she is pregnant? by thebookklepto
All Rh- pregnant women are given RHIg (WinRho, Rhogam etc) to minimize the chance that there is Rh incompatibility. While it is possible to assume that there will be no issues when both parents are Rh-, it is generally accepted practice to immunize the mother just the same. This page from Cleveland Clinic has a good explanation of the issue:

It is our standard of practice that anyone whom you might reasonably suspect may have an STI gets serology for HIV, Hep A/B/C, Syphilis, and urine NAAT for G&C. This on top of empiric oral treatment. Our outcomes may be skewed as I'm at an inner city ER with an over representation of folks who live on the margins.
