The most severe form of erythroblastosis fetalis is that resulting from Rh incompatibility. But you can have erythroblastosis fetalis with ABO incompatibility as well. And this can occur with any child, even the first, and even with an Rh-negative child. However, if you're referring to Rh-incompatibility erythroblastosis fetalis, the answer to your question is, "Not usually" (assuming she hasn't had a previous Rh-positive child). In Rh-incompatibility, erythroblastosis fetalis occurs with the woman's second Rh-positive child. The first Rh-positive child's blood gets into the mother's bloodstream (e.g. at childbirth). The mother's blood makes antibodies to Rh. Since the first child is already born, this does not affect the first child. Then, when she has a second Rh-positive child, her antibodies cross the placenta and attack that child's blood cells. On the other hand, if the mother is exposed to the Rh factor of the first child's blood earlier in the pregnancy somehow, then I suppose she could develop enough antibodies to cause a problem for that first child.

Do I need to be the same blood type as my egg donor?

For blood types, you must consider the antigens and antibodies that are involved. epending on the presence or absense of these proteins, a person may have A, B, AB, or O blood. With pregnancy the chief concern is the Rh factor, which determines whether somebody is positive or negative. If mom is positive and da is positive, then the baby will be positive for the Rh factor, and there will be no complications. This same concept occurs for parents that are both negative for the Rh factor. If mmom is positive and dad is negative, then the dominant gene (positive) will be found in the baby and there will be no problems. However, if mom is negative and dad is positive, then the baby will attain a positive Rh factor and be inside the mom's (negative) body. Then, the om's body will produce antibodies to ward off the foreign blood of the baby, possibly killing it. As long as a doctor is informed of this, the mom can take shot periodically to prevent the production of such antibodies an keep the baby safe.


What type blood does a negative male and o positive female make?

There's not enough information to give the probable blood groups since no blood group was given for the male. However, an rh negative male and an rh positive female could produce either an rh negative baby or an rh positive baby. The male is definitely homozygous recessive for rh factor, but the female could be homozygous dominant for rh factor, in which case the baby would be heterozygous for rh factor and it would be rh positive. However, if the female is heterozygous for rh factor, there is a 50% chance the baby would be rh positive (heterozygous) and a 50% change the baby would be rh negative (homozygous recessive).


A positive father a positive motherwhat is your child's blood type?

If you're talking RH Factor (i.e., you are O-Positive, and your wife is O-Positive) then the baby will be O-Positive. If both the RH Factors are positive, then the baby will be positive.


Why check baby's blood type when mom is O positive?

If the father's Rh factor is negative, it is helpful to know before birth if the baby is negative so an antibody reaction can be anticipated.


What is the significance of rh blood group in lady of child bearing age?

A pregnant woman is at risk if she is Rh negative and her partner, and in turn, baby are Rh positive. While carrying the baby, the mother's blood, which is Rh negative, may mix with the baby's Rh positive blood. The mother's body will create antibodies to the Rh factor and treat the baby as if it foreign. The body would almost have an "allergic reaction" to the baby, so to speak. The antibodies would start to attack the baby's red blood cells and the baby would develop anemia which could become severe and dangerous. Thankfully screening can determine if a mother is Rh negative and she will be given an injection that will suppress her reaction to Rh positive cells in her fetus.

Can Rh negative men can marry Rh positive women?

Are you asking about the Rh+ father and Rh- mother? Not a problem any more. There are drugs to prevent Rh- mom's immune system from attacking the Rh+ baby she's carrying. ALSO it was, in the past, a problem usually on second births and beyond. Some of baby's blood may have gotten into mom's blood and caused her to develop antibodies to the next baby. In the womb, baby and mom do NOT share blood.Short answer -- No Problemo

Is a blood Type A mom compatible with Type O dad?

There are no compatibility issues with the ABO gene and the production of offspring. There might be an issue if the mother is Rh negative and the father is Rh positive with the resulting baby inheriting the Rh positive gene.

What does it mean when a newborn has b positive blood?

If a newborn has B positive blood, it means his blood has the B antigen and is Rh positive. There are 4 blood types: A, B, AB, and O. There are two Rh types Rh positive, Rh positive and Rh negative. That simply means what type of blood the baby would receive if it needed a transfusion.
