I did have an injection for rhesus D in my first pregnancy (was weak) How can I best explain it to my daughter. because she may also need a syringe.

Answer
Best,
To answer your daughter’s question, there is no reason to doubt her daddy based on the blood types you provide.
Most likely you have the genotype AO with rhesus +/- and the father BO with rhesus -/-.
Then the combination OO with rhesus -/- is very normal for your daughter.
This fully complies with the laws of heredity!
