My father is O + and my mother is AB . They had identical twins which is my sister and I, which came out O +. Everyone has been saying that it's impossible that an AB mother could have an O + kid. We called up genetic counseling 'cause my mother had to go through them from the drugs she was on. We were the first babies to be born while the mother was on the blood thinner called Kumadent or something like that. They said the medicine isn't an issue and my mother says she knows for certain we weren't switched at birth. She had my sister natural while she had me censeran. So, how can this be?

yes, it is impossible for an AB+ woman to have children that are not either type A or B. and coumadin does not affect blood type at all. all it does is make the blood clotting proteins not as active, thus "thinning" the blood. blood types are found on the surface of red blood cells and are detemined by your genes. did you confirm the blood typing test results by having another test for all of you (your sister, father and mother)? if you had confirmatory tests, you should look at other options and possibilities.

the blood thinner is coumadin and it wouldn't be a problem. From what I understand you generally end up with Dad's blood type or a combo of the two. My mom is A+ Dad is O+ and I am O+. There is a long winded explanation at the website below. The website explains hidden A in the blood, etc.

Is it possible that your mother's blood type is actually NOT AB? It wouldn't be the first time that blood test was done incorrectly if it were.
