Depends if the mum is O+ / O-, and if the first child is rh + or rh-. The fathers blood type is irrelevent except for that in this case in means that the unborn baby could be either rh+ or rh-.
If the mum is O- and the first baby was O+ then it is possible that the mum may have developed Anti D (an immune response to the 1st babys rh + antigen), if this is the case and this mum is now pregnant with another rh+ baby then she may mount an immune response to the baby causing Haemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) or potentially miscarrying the baby. HDN usually just means a very anaemic baby.
During/ after the first pregnancy the mum should have been monitored and if it were needed given a dose of propholactic anti D, which would prevent her from making her own anti D, thus avoiding any risk to the second baby. During the second pregnancy any anti D made by the mum would be detected by the blood bank and steps taken to protect the unborn baby.
Just for clarity- if the blood group is O+ this means the group is O and the rh factor is present eg. rh+. O- means group O, rh- etc.

Can your father and mother have Rh positive factor and you be Rh negative?
YES. Maybe both of your parents are half-Rh positive, but not a full-blown Rh positive. Your parents will have 25% chances of getting a Rh negative offspring (Out of 4 children, only 1 become Rh negative) This comes true in our family. Both myself and my husband are Rh positive and our kid (3 years) is Rh negative. My blood group is B+ve, and my husband is A1B+ve and our kid is A1-ve.
