the problem isn't with the blood group (01, A2, B3, AB4). it is with the +/- always mentioned next to the blood group.
the +/- marks the presence or absence of a heteroprotein in your blood (called Rh). The problem occurs when the woman is - (negative) and the CHILD is positive. what occurs is that the woman's immune system rejects the child, because the woman's body does not recognize the heteroprotein and takes it for an intrusive organism.
however, nowadays even if the woman is negative and the child positive, there are ways of monitoring the pregnancy. so, if the wife is negative she should go to a doctor and take some advice. the treatment is that the immune system is "tricked" not to detect the protein, and thus, even if the pregnancy is more difficult, it can be carried to an end.
sorry for any bad vocabulary/ grammar :P

That's nonsense. The ABO blood types do not cause problems with the mother and baby because the baby has its own circulation separate from that of the mother. The rhesus factor can cause problems if a rhesus negative woman is carrying a rhesus positive baby, (it doesn't matter if a rhesus positive woman is carrying a rhesus negative baby). The baby's rhesus positive blood can mix with the mother's rhesus negative baby during birth and can cause some problems with the mother rejecting another rhesus positive baby in a subsequent pregnancy but there are injections available that will prevent this from happening.
Doctors know in what circumstances to administer these injections so you have nothing to worry about if trying for a baby. If the female partner is Rh negative and male partner Rh positive you should bring it to the attention of your doctor or midwife before the birth just to be sure.

No, not true. When I was pregnant, my husband and I were never tested to make sure we had a compatible blood type for pregnancy.
If this were true, I would suspect it would be mandatory that people were tested for compatibility prior to fertilization.

it is "ADVISED" to avoid cause this can be dangerous for the mother's health as well towards the growth of the embryo. there are more chances of a child bein mentally/physically challenged. practically : 30% danger! 70% safe!!!

Not true. They can have children and the children will all have O+.
