Coombs test that is done for you is usually called Indirect Coombs Test. To find out if you have any "anti rh antigen antibody".
It's a good thing that you got the first report as negative. As your husband is Positive blood group, in prenatal screening it is better to be double sure.
Usually that shouldn't come positive.
And even if the test is positive there are steps that can be taken to protect the baby.
And if this is your first pregnancy rest assured if your test is negative there is no harm to the baby and to you.
Next Steps
Please relax, relax your mind.
