My blood type is A and I am RH negative, my husband has AB. Will this affect our baby in any way?

Question

What blood type could are baby have?

Answer 1

Your baby has the chance of getting an A or an AB blood group. More important is the Rh factor regarding baby's birth issues. As the Rh positivity of your husband has not been detailed by you, so if your husband is Rh positive, with homozygous for the gene allele coding for Rh factor, then the baby has 100% percent chance of chances of being Rh positive. If heterozygous for the gene allele, then baby has 50% chance of being Rh-negative. Note that this depends on genetic basis of your husband's Rh grouping.
If this is your first baby, and you have never received blood transfusion, just rest assured - everything shall be fine and after child-birth, your obstetrician may give you an injection to take care of antibody formation. If this is your second or subsequent baby with first one being Rh +ve, or you did receive a blood transfusion mistyped for Rh in the past, you might have antibodies to Rh. In which case, appropriate medical advice should be sought from your Obstetrician.

Answer 2

if you're blood type is A with RH negative it means that you are what we call in genetics "Homoziget recesive" to the negative Rh but we can not know about the A it is etrozigot or homozigot

how ever , if you're husband is AB so he must be eterozigot Ab

so you're Child has a chance of 25% to be A posotive, 50% to be somthing Negative (we dont know you're past so i can not know for sure) and 25 - 50 % to has also AB
and depends on u're parents , he might has well have B posotive.
for sure though he wont be type O nither posotive or negative so you dont have any risk for him to have O negative wich is rarr blood type.

so no worry!!! he has no risks :)

Answer 3

if your husband is positive and the first baby you bear is also opositive there is a possibility of your next children getting Hemolytic disease.

RhD Hemolytic disease of the newborn is often called Rhesus disease or Rh disease for brevity. Sensitization to Rh D antigens (usually by feto-maternal transfusion during pregnancy) may lead to the production IgG anti-RhD antibodies which can pass through the placenta. This is of particular importance to RhD negative females of or below childbearing age, because any subsequent pregnancy may be affected by the Rhesus D hemolytic disease of the newborn if the baby is Rh D positive.

The vast majority of Rh disease is preventable in modern antenatal care by injections of IgG anti-D antibodies (Rho(D) Immune Globulin).

for your next question, they could be A or AB

Answer 4

nope wont harm baby just be sure u have injection b4 u get pregnant so your body wont self abort fetus due to your rh factor. I am same as u and i got 2 healthy babies 15 and 11 yrs old now

Answer 5

Not to muddy the issue, but the concern with the Rh is with second and subsequent PREGNANCIES, not only children carried to term.
