My husband and I were going through a rough patch and I cheated. We worked things out and then I found out I was pregnant. If my blood is o- and my husbands is a+ and my new baby is b-, is he my husband's son?

My husband knows there's a possibility that its not his. The reason I ask this question is because he doesn't bond with him like our other son which is definately his. I think he feels like why should i if he's not mine ya know. We just really need to know and paternity testing is so expensive.

no hes not your hubbys son...your son can only be a O or A
Blood type can be used to determine paternity in many cases.
Our ABO blood type charts below can be used to predict the possibilities of paternity.
The charts below can assist you to determine either:
The ABO blood type of the child when the blood type of the father and the mother are known (top chart), or
The ABO blood type of the father if the blood type of the child and the mother are known (bottom chart).
ABO Blood Type Calculator
ABO blood types can be complicated to understand. This is mostly due to the fact that the 'O-type' antigen is masked by the presence of an A- or B-type antigen. This is explained in the following chart, showing the different the genotypes that make up the blood types.
Genotype (DNA) Blood Type
AO or AA A blood type
AB AB blood type
BO or BB B blood type
OO O blood type
For example, two O blood type parents can produce a child with only O blood type. Two parents with A blood type can produce a child with either A or O blood types. Two parents with B blood type can produce a child with either B or O blood type. One parent with A and another with B can produce a child with A, B, AB or O blood types. If one parent has A and another has AB, they can either produce a child with A, B or AB blood types. If one parent has A and another has O, they can either produce a child with A or O blood types.
Rh Positive (Rh+) and Negative (Rh-) Blood Types
The Rh (+/-) factor is inherited separately from the ABO blood types. Similarly to the masking effect of the O gene in ABO blood types, the Rh negative (Rh-) gene is also masked by the presence of a Rh positive (Rh+) genotype. Therefore, a person may have a Rh + blood type and can still have an Rh - gene (See the chart below). Furthermore, 2 parents with Rh + blood types can have a child with Rh - blood type.
Genotype (DNA)
Blood Type
(+ , -) or (+ , +) Rh +
(- , -) Rh -

No. Your child had to get the B allele from one parent, and your husband does not have it. You cannot have the B allele because your blood type is O. O is recessive. A and B are codominant alleles, so if your husband had the B gene, his blood type would be AB. His must be AO or AA. Anyways, unless your child happened to have a genetic mutation giving him the B gene, this child is not your husband's.

The blood type is not a good indicator of parentage. But why worry? You and hubby are back together and you have a healthy baby. Expend your efforts caring for the child as if it truly is yours and hubby's. After all, the child didn't have a say in who parented him, did he? Never tell him or hubby that someone else might be his father.

have a paternity test done, and also if your husband doesnt no what u did i strongly suggest that you tell him, honesty is the best way to go. and also in my opion if u truely love your husband and u new there was a chance that things would work out and u would get back together u would of NEVER cheated on him. if u truely love him u would of NEVER of been able to be with another man. in my opion u dont deserve another chance if thats how u r gong to be. and well if he cheated on u also well then i guess u 2 were made for each-other.

Have a paternity test done. It's the only way. My mom is O and my dad is B+ and I am A+ so it is hard to tell.
Good luck

okay here is the deal, have you had the baby yet? if so, take the day he was born and minus 240 days from that and that is the day that he was concieved. or if you have not had him yet, go to pregnancy-calendar.com and click on the conception date finder and it will take it from there. good luck to you and i hope it all works out.

Blood types are not genetically passed in that manner.
