Will my child have jaundice?

It's very likely that your child will have O+ blood. Your husband could carry the allele for one B protein (BO) or both (BB). If your husband only carries one proten, you child will have a 100% chance of being O+, however, if you husband carries both alleles (BB), then your child will be B+. Basically your child has a 50% chance either way. I'm not sure you need to worry about jaundice - it can happen to any child.

Yeah you child can be O+. As for jaundice if your child gets jaundice doctors can cure it. My sister had jaundice but my mum told me that the docs put her under a special lamp for some time, also my mum was told to keep my sis under the sun in the early mornings(not when the sun is hot).

Yes the child can be 0 positive, and the statistics favor it. Because you are both positive, you do not have to worry about the Rh factor, therefore, your baby will not have jaundice. That does not mean your baby can't have jaundice from dozens of other diagnoses.

I don't know whether your child will have jaundice or not. but you child can be O+. this is because your husband is B blood group,which means he can be BO or BB . If he is BO then your child can become O or even B. If your husband is BB then your child will only be B. this is because your blood group is O and B is dominant over O.Since both of you are positive, i guess your child will also be +.
hope I've cleared your doubt!
Oh! about jaundice, unless he gets the virus, he will not get it. there are diferent kinds of hepatitis and for each there's a diferent way of transmission. some are blood borne transmission-means gets transferred through blood; may be duing a blood transfusion from a patient or something. as log as he doesn't have the virus, he'll not have it!

The easy answer is that since your husband is B+ and you are O+, your child can either be B+ or O+. As far as jaundice, every child born can have jaundice.

Absolutely. If your husband is "heterozygous" for the B surface antigen and no surface antigen (B/-), where you are O (-/-), your child has a 50:50 chance of having blood type O. As far as the Rh factor, you both are Rh Positive so of course your child can be Rh (+). However, if you and your husband both carry heterozygous genes for the "Rh factor" your child has a 1 in 4 chance of being Rh negative. The baby is also not going to have a blood type based problem with you, but babies can be jaundiced for a good many other reasons, not simply due to their and their mother's blood types.

My child me and the father all three are O+. My child was a little jaundice at birth, but not bad enough to be serious. all parents worry about their babies I'm sure everything will be fine.

it is possible that your child will have o blood. blood typing is based on a multiple allele system which means that u have to have 2 genes for it....one from each parent....if your husband is b he either has B/O or B/B. you on the other hand have O/O and nothing else....so your child will either have b/o or o/o...it is a fifty/fifty shot. if your child has b/o it will express the b and not the o therefore being of "b" blood and never o. however the o/o blood of course will express "o". O is a recessive blood type because it does not have any protein indicators which is what A, B, or o is. A and B are different protein signatures on the red blood cell which are markers for the white blood cell not to digest it....if the child is "O" it has no signature which means the white blood cell will register any other protein signature as foreign and thus destroy it. this is why it is recessive because the genes want to have that distinguishing marking on the blood....FYI an AB blood type has both markers and therefore the white blood cell will recognize all four blood types and not destroy any.
