Some one with an RH negative blood type cannot produce children with the same RH negative type. For this reason, couples should be screened before deciding to start their families. It is possible, that if two people share the negative rh that it can be neutralized or treated so that they can produce chilren.

The unique properties about having RH in your blood is that very few people have that blood type. If you are RH negative, that means it is a higher chance of having miscarriages if you are a woman.

What type of blood would you have if both your parents have RH blood type?

Rh is not a blood type by itself but is just one part of what makes up a blood type. There are two parts to blood typing: the ABO aspect and the Rh factor. One has blood type A, B, AB, or O, AND then is either Rh positive, or Rh negative. Hence why you hear blood types like A positive, O negative, etc. The positive/ negative is referring to the Rh factor. Rh positive is dominant, so one only needs one Rh positive parent so be Rh positive. Rh negative is recessive. If both parents are Rh negative, the child they have must be Rh negative as well. To know what blood type you could be, you need to know your parents' entire blood type.

What does blood type A positive mean?

Type A blood means that on the outer cell membrane there is an antigen that identifies the cell as being "Type A". If you have "positive" blood, this means you have tested positive for the Rh factor, and there is an antigen identifying the Rh factor on the outer cell membrane. If you are Rh negative, there is no antigen on the outer membrane. The ABO and Rh blood types are just 2 of the 32 blood-type components of the red blood cell.

Can a father with o negative blood type and a mother with o positive blood type have an a positive baby?

No. Either the mother or the father (or both) must have type A or AB blood in order for the child to inherit type A blood. Independently of their ABO blood type, either or both parents must also be Rh positive for the child to be Rh positive. In the case given, the baby could be Rh positive since the mother is Rh positive but it could not be type A since neither parent has type A or AB blood.
