There might be something wrong with the baby or it might complicate the pregnancy or any further pregnancies. Can you shed some light on this?

Since her blood type is + there's no reason for her to be concerned. If it was the other way around her doctor/midwife would need to monitor her and her baby more closely. If her baby was born with a positive blood type and she was negative, her subsequent pregnancy could end up with severe problems. When a positive blood type enters a negative blood type, the body will form antibodies against the foreign elements. In a future pregnancy, the antibodies will attack the baby and s/he would need to be given a blood transfusion upon birth to avoid death. Usually this can be prevented with a shot called Rhogam, which suppresses the antibodies from developing in the mother's bloodstream.

There shouldn't be any complications in her case as SHE is the positive. However if SHE were the negative and the father was a positive and the baby was a positive as well there could be compliations. When the baby reaches the birth canal the "antibodies" in the mother's blood react as if there is an "intruder"/infection in the body and they can cause problems during labor and deliver, and the baby could require a transfusion. That is why during the pregnancy if the different blood types of mother and father are known the mother will get the RH innoculation. This will aid in preventing complications at birth. The best thing for her is to remain calm and to do what the doctors and staff tell her to do when it is time for her to deliver.

There is no need to worry about the difference in your sister and her husbands blood type. A problem will sometimes occur when the mother is negative and the father is positive. Even then it usually takes a few pregnancies for this to happen. The negative mother will receive rhogam after each pregnancy and this usually protects her and any future babies.

Because she has the positive Rh factor, there is nothing to worry about. The A or O has no effect on the pregnancy. If it was the other way around and she was the negative Rh factor and her husband was positive, she would get a shot of rhogam at about 28 weeks and then soon after birth. This is to prevent her from attacking possible future pregnancies because her system is now sensitized to the positive Rh factor.

Her third being pregnant exchange into twins, and the medical doctors suspected considered one of them had a conflicting blood type, so as that they gave the fetus blood transfusions at a similar time as she exchange into nonetheless pregnant, yet they have been improper and he ended up nonetheless born. He could have been fantastic if that they had left him on my own, however the lady exchange into born healthful. you have merely as plenty danger of passing alongside a destructive blood type to the toddler, the two confirm could make a contribution that. and that i could bypass as far as to assert lots of the time in spite of conflicting blood types issues finally end up merely fantastic. My cousin's case exchange into an intense occasion. i'm particular that doesn't happen very oftentimes. yet have your husband's blood type forged and discover out what his is. If he additionally has a destructive rh element, the toddler relatively will and each thing would be ok. Sorry that wasn't the main comforting answer. yet actual, lots of the time issues finally end up fantastic and the toddler is born healthful.

it's only a problem for a negative blood mommy giving birth to a positive blood baby. You have to get 2 shots.

I thought O was universal. The only time you have to worry is when you have a negative Rh factor and your partner has a positive Rh factor. Not blood type.....

If She was o negative, then she needs to get a shot of Rhogam...during her pregnancy and then after she delivers. But if it's her husband than she is fine.
But if not, she will be fine as long as she sees her doctor and gets the Rhogam. Otherwise, it makes no difference whatsoever.

No worries. If her blood is positive, she is good to go. It is when her blood is negative, that she would have to do a series of rhogam (spelling??) shots. I had to do this with my children and they both came out fine. (There are alot of people who don't know their blood type). Have her talk to her physician, it will help ease her mind.
Tell her good luck!!
