Why do Rh-negative but not Rh-positive mothers sometimes have babies with hemolytic disease of the newborn?

A. This disease results when an Rh-negative mother's immune system is primed multiple times to produce anti-Rh IgG antibodies that can cross the placenta. If the mother is Rh-positive, she won't produce any anti-Rh antibodies at all. B. Rh-positive mothers produce IgM antibody, not IgG. This antibody can't cross the placenta, so it can't cause hemolytic disease of the newborn. C. Rh-positive mothers will receive a preventative shot from their physician prior to conception. This will provide the protection the fetus needs AFTER conception to avoid the disease. D. Rh-negativity is also associated with hyperproduction of antibodies. As such, Rh-negative mothers are more likely than Rh-positive mothers to produce the antibodies needed to produce this disease.
