You should do the antibody titers first as that will decide if she has to take the injection or not
It needs to be taken at about 28weeks and then after the delivery within 72hrs if the baby is also of positive blood group

Need to know your obstetric history..
However, titre is required only if pregnancy is isoimmunised otherwise titre is not required..
What you actually require is indirect Coomb test ( ICT ) ..
If ICT is negative than , just take the ANTI D immunoglobulin at 28 weeks of pregnancy & again after birth.,
ACOG recommends antiD immunoglobulin at 28 weeks after ICT test & again after birth , dose being 300 micrograms..
