my blood type is b positive and my mans blood is o positive. is this a good match if i were to get pregnant?

Answer 1

yeah it wil be a good match .same combination is there for me n my husband. we have a 17 month old daughter.

untill n unless one person has negative there is no problem with any blood group. following information can help u.

ABO Blood Types


The most well known and medically important blood types are in the ABO They were discovered in 1900 and 1901 at the University of Vienna by Karl Landsteiner in the process of trying to learn why blood transfusions sometimes cause death and at other times save a patient. In 1930, he belatedly received the Nobel Prize for this discovery.

All humans and many other primates can be typed for the ABO blood group. There are four principal types: A, B, AB, and O. There are two antigens and two antibodies that are mostly responsible for the ABO types. The specific combination of these four components determines an individual's type in most cases. The table below shows the possible permutations of antigens and antibodies with the corresponding ABO type ("yes" indicates the presence of a component and "no" indicates its absence in the blood of an individual).
ABO
Blood Type
Antigen
A Antigen
B Antibody
anti-A Antibody
Anti-B

A yes no no yes
B no yes yes no
O no no yes yes
AB yes yes no no


For example, people with type A blood will have the A antigen on the surface of their red cells (as shown in the table below). As a result, anti-A antibodies will not be produced by them because they would cause the destruction of their own blood. However, if B type blood is injected into their systems, anti-B antibodies in their plasma will recognize it as alien and burst or agglutinate the introduced red cells in order to cleanse the blood of alien protein.

AB yes yes no no


Individuals with type O blood do not produce ABO antigens. Therefore, their blood normally will not be rejected when it is given to others with different ABO types. As a result, type O people are universal donors for transfusions, but they can receive only type O blood themselves. Those who have type AB blood do not make any ABO antibodies. Their blood does not discriminate against any other ABO type. Consequently, they are universal receivers for transfusions, but their blood will be agglutinated when given to people with every other type because they produce both kinds of antigens.

It is easy and inexpensive to determine an individual's ABO type from a few drops of blood. A serum containing anti-A antibodies is mixed with some of the blood. Another serum with anti-B antibodies is mixed with the remaining sample. Whether or not agglutination occurs in either sample indicates the ABO type. It is a simple process of elimination of the possibilities. For instance, if an individual's blood sample is agglutinated by the anti-A antibody, but not the anti-B antibody, it means that the A antigen is present but not the B antigen. Therefore, the blood type is A.


Genetic Inheritance Patterns

ABO blood types are inherited through genes on chromosome 9, and they do not change as a result of environmental influences during life. An individual's ABO type is determined by the inheritance of 1 of 3 alleles (A, B, or O) from each parent. The possible outcomes are shown below:
Parent Alleles

A AA
(A) AB
(AB) AO
(A)
B AB
(AB) BB
(B) BO
(B)
O AO
(A) BO
(B) OO
(O)

The possible ABO alleles for one parent are in the top row and the alleles of the
other are in the left column. Offspring genotypes are shown in black.
Phenotypes are red.

Both A and B alleles are dominant over O. As a result, individuals who have an AO genotype will have an A phenotype. People who are type O have OO genotypes. In other words, they inherited a recessive O allele from both parents. The A and B alleles are codominant. Therefore, if an A is inherited from one parent and a B from the other, the phenotype will be AB. Agglutination tests will show that these individuals have the characteristics of both type A and type B blood.

CAUTION: the inheritance of ABO blood types does not always follow such straightforward rules of inheritance. If you wish to explore the reason why this is true, select the Bombay Phenotype button below.

ABO Blood type antigens are not only found on the surface of red cells. They are also normally secreted by some people in their body fluids, including saliva, tears, and urine. Whether someone is able to secrete them is genetically controlled. Police agencies now routinely use this so-called secretor system data to identify potential victims and criminals when blood samples are not available.

Despite the fact that the blood types of children are solely determined by inheritance from their parents, paternity in the U.S. and many other nations can no longer be legally established based on conventional blood typing. To do that, it is necessary to compare HLA types and/or DNA sequences. The use of DNA is more accurate in determining paternity, but it is also more expensive than HLA typing.

Antibodies to alien antigens in the ABO group are usually present in our plasma prior to the first contact with blood of a different ABO type. This may be partly explained by the fact that these antigens are also produced by certain bacteria and possibly some plants. When we come in contact with them, our bodies may develop long-term active immunity to their antigens and subsequently to the same antigens on the surface of red blood cells. This usually occurs to babies within the first six months following their birth.

Answer 2

Two positives is fine, in fact the only time there is a problem is if the mother is negative and the father is positive. The only way I see a problem is if the baby is blood type A or AB or a negative.

Answer 3

The only thing that matters in pregnancy is the positive and negative part. Since you are both positive there should be no problem as far as blood type and the baby.

Answer 4

You will be fine!
I'm o neg and my husband is a pos! Thats a scary match!
I have to get a shot at about 26 weeks and one after the baby is born to kill all the foreign blood cells and such!
We can have one baby just fine, it's the other's that we need to be more careful!
YOu should be just fine! It's really only serious if the woman if an negative!
Just let your doctor know and he'll know what to do!
Good Luck!

Answer 5

The both positive is nice cause you won't have to get the rh negative shot. Otherwise blood types don't matter when it comes to making babies.

Answer 6

A good match for what? Blood types really only comes into account if one of you is Rh negative, which you're not.

Answer 7

All this means is that you won't have to have the Rogham shot during a pregnancy or after the baby is born. There is little or no risk to the baby anymore when the mom is RH -

Answer 8

More of the RH +/- is the concern. If you are concerned about genetics, maybe seek a councilor for genetics. RH factor can be as serious as death if not identified and treated midway thru preg and at birth.

Answer 9

Its fine...you don't have to have Rhogam shots because you are both a positive blood type

Answer 10

I don't think there would be a problem since you are both positive. I think the problem can olny be if there is a negative and a positive.Maybe this will help you.
