It happens when the father is of a positive blood group (having Rhesus (Rh) factor) and mother of a negative blood group (devoid of Rh factor), the fetes' blood group will be of the positive type, i.e., having Rh factor as having Rh factor is a dominant trait and can mask the negative blood group. So, this creates problems for the kid as well as mother during pregnancy. Usually, the first pregnancy will not have much complications. But, the second pregnancy onwards, the antibodies present in the mother from the first pregnancy will be present and is harmful for the fetes.

∙ 9y agoIn case of erythroblastosis foetalis you have the Rh positive father and Rh negative mother. During delivery or at times abortion of the Rh positive baby, you get blood of mother and baby mixed up. As a result you get the antibodies formed in the blood of mother. These antibodies selectively attack the red blood cells in the next foetus. Then the baby is born will severe anaemia.
