It’s the opposite. Yes The risk is low during pregnancy and is more likely to occur during delivery but it’s the baby’s blood that passes into the mothers blood stream causing the mother immune system to produce antibodies against the baby’s blood. These antibodies can pass across the placenta and attack the baby’s blood cells causing them to be destroyed. It is then the subsequent pregnancies that the Fetus and baby are affected.
