I've NEVER heard that before in my life. Blood type has nothing to do with viability of sperm & egg.

It can be true for those who are Rh negative. The Rh is the label for your blood type (IE; o positive, a negative). If the mother is negative and the child she is carrying is positive it will cause problems. The Rh factor comes from the father, so be sure to check this out. The problem does not typically occur with the first pregnancy. It is only after the body has developed an immune response to the first child that is Rh positive that causes the second one will be seen as a threat by the immune system. But if BOTH parents are Rh negative, there will never be a problem. There is a shot that you need to be sure to get if you give birth, have an abortion or miscarry. This will keep you from creating the antibodies that fight the next pregnancy. If you are Rh negative, be very aware of your cycles and if you suspect a miscarriage, GO TO THE DR and get the shot. Many Rh negative women can no longer carry a Rh positive child to full term because their body rejects the fetus - for just this reason. Good Luck and stay informed.

I have heard of this happening....It has something to do with the RH factor...My whole family has "O" negative blood. We were told, that we may have trouble if we married someone with "Positive" blood. The first birth would be okay, but the second pregnacy may involve the baby having a complete blood transfusion...My Ex husband was/is "A Positive"....We had one child and eveything was okay....My son is now 35 years old and I never had anymore children, so I can't say for sure, since I didn't experience this myself...I do know that because of my RH factor, I have to have shots given to me before any surgery procedures are to take place...

The trouble is not in the blood type, it is the RH factor of the blood that is sometimes not compatible. Ex: a RH negitive mom and a RH positive baby or vise versa. In these types of cases, There is a shot called Rogam (sp?) given to the mother during pregnancy that will help the mother be compatible with the baby's blood.

It's complete hogwash. The only problem that could possibly arise is when the Rh factors are different. If the mother is Rh - and the father is Rh + then the mother has to receive an injection to make sure her body doesn't fight off the baby because his/her Rh factor is different.

There can be difficulties with different blood types. I'm AB positive, hubby is B negative. The problem comes in if the baby is negative while the mother is positive, or vice versa. Even then it may not pose any difficulties. Your doctor should monitor things closely.

It is not blood type that can be problematic. It is RH factor -- the + or - of the blood. But with modern medicine, this can be overcome.
