You are o what blood type do you have to worrie about when having a baby?

None. What you have to worry about is if the mother's blood type is (-) negative and the father's is (+)positive. When this happens, the baby inside the mother will be (+) and the mother will make antibodies to the baby's blood for the first pregnancy. This will not affect the firstborn, but will affect the second born. This is why they give Rh - moms a shot of Rhogam to keep the mothers antibodies from attacking the baby's bloodcells resulting in anemia.
