You are a A positive and your husband is O negative can we have perfect babay?
Yes. The child can either have an A or O blood type. The problem occurs when the mother is NEGATIVE and the child is POSITIVE, at which point the body create antibodies against the child as it passes through the birth canal (this is because the positive/negative stand for the presence/absence of the Rhesus factor, so if the mother lacks it (negative) then it will identify her child (positive) as "foreign" and attack it) In the chance of conceiving another child with a positive blood type, the already-present antibodies will attack the child unless the mother's antibodies have been counteracted. But in your case, there is no problem! :)
