A disease most commonly caused by Rh incompatibility, a situation in which the mother’s blood develops antibodies in reaction to the blood of the fetus. The disease occurs when an Rh-negative mother is pregnant with an Rh-positive fetus; the fetus can develop anemia from the loss of red blood cells and jaundice from its body’s inability to process the destroyed cells, all of which may lead to a stillbirth.
