• Question: When the rhesus disease happens, the rh+ antibodies stay near to the part where the baby was or keep moving to other parts of the body?

      Im not certain but I think they would stay where the baby was because the immune response is generally very good at targeting a certain area. For example if you have a sore throat your tonsils swell but not the rest of the body because that is where the cells go and the antibodies don’t last very long after they have been produced by a cell so wouldn’t really have time to go anywhere else I don’t think!
