Your baby can be A+, A-, B+ or B-, depending on which genotypes are inherited from your husband and yourself.
To expand on a previous answer -
Since you are negative, if the baby is A+ or B+, there is a possibility of a reaction to the baby's group, however, this may only affect your next baby, not this one.
What happens is that some of this baby's blood may get into your blood at birth (it can get a bit messy down there). You will develop an antibody against the positive part of the blood group. This baby, however, will be in the clear, he/she will already be out and free. If your next baby is also positive, you will have antibodies against that blood group, and a reaction may occur.
That's the theory, the reality is that, because you are a known negative, they will give you an injection, if needed, to neutralise any stray baby cells within your blood stream after your baby is born. You will then not develop antibodies against the blood group of the next baby.

It can only get one from each side. Your husband is o and o in order for him to have an o blood type. He cannot possibly have Ao or Bo because then he'd be considered A-blood type or B-blood type. O is recessive. It's also possible for one of his sides to have negative-rh. This would make it easier during childbirth, because the blood types would not fight.
You on the other hand have AB, one side has A and the other B. If the Rh is negative then neither side of your family has given Rh positive because - is also recessive.
So, your child can be AO- or BO- without having complications during the gestational period. However, if your baby has AO+ or BO+ then you would most likely need to take shots or medications so your body doesn't fight the baby's blood.

Possibilites: A+, A-, B+, B-
You are AB--
Your husband is either OO++ or OO+-
Your A or B will express over the O from your husband, so your baby will be either A or B (but can not be AB or O)
The Rh will depend on whether your husband is ++ or not. If he is ++ then all your children will be + (genotype +-). If he is +-, then the odds are 50/50.

By doing a cross of your blood type and your husband's blood type, i can tell that your baby will be either of type A or of type B. There is 50 percent chance the baby will be type A and another 50 percent chance the baby will be type B. That's as far as i know.

You'll need to talk to a doctor about this- because you are "seronegative" (you have AB negative blood) and your husband is "seropositive" (he has O positive blood) your baby will be at risk for a condition called seroincompatability. It means the baby's blood will be confused about whether it is positive or negative and the confusion can hinder development. This condition only occurs with a seronegative mother and a seropositive father. It is a dangerous condition but highly treatable- which is why you need to talk to a doctor. Sorry I can't tell you what the baby's blood type will be. Good luck!

either AO+/AO- or BO+/BO-.
Parental genome: AB x OO
Gene: A B O O
Child's possible genome: AO AO BO BO
negative sign/positive sign depends. Most people are Rh positive.

The positive and negative has to do with exposure to rh factor. It too has two genes with one being dominant. Since you are -, yours are --. Your husbands we don't know about--if he is +- then your baby could be either - or +. If he is ++ then your baby will be +.
