Why does the first born child not have erythroblastosis fetalis?

The first child born of a female is generally not at risk for erythroblastosis fetalis because the mother's immune system has not been exposed to the fetal blood antigens and therefore has not produced antibodies against it. However, by the second pregnancy there is a slight risk if the blood type of the fetus is not compatible with the mother's blood type.

Can a mom with Rh positive blood have an Rh positive baby?
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.
What condition is RHO Gam used to prevent in successive pregnancies of Rh negative mothers?
Erythroblastosis fetalis (hemolytic disease of the newborn). A first-born child will not usually suffer harmful effects, however subsequent babies will be affected.
Which baby gets erythroblastosis fetalis?
The second baby, normally. Erythroblastosis Foetalis is when a baby with a positive blood group is born to a mother of a negative blood group, and the mother has been 'sensitized' during a previous pregnancy. The mother's body identifies the fetus as a 'foreign' protein and her body's immune system tries to fight the foreign protein, much like an allergic reaction.

If I am a- blood with rh factors and All My Children were born with a- blood what is my husband's blood?
You have a gene from each parent. To have A (phenotype), your genotype is either AA or AO - or you have an A gene from both parents or you have an A gene from one parent & an O gene from the other. You may be able to figure out your genotype if you know your parents' bloodtypes. My parents are O- & AB+. I have B+ phenotype so I know I have a B gene & an O gene so my blood's genotype is BO+.Your husband could be A (AA, AO), O (OO) or AB. If he is AO, you are probably AA since all your kids are A. If he is O, you are probably AA.To determine rhesus (+ or -), one would need to know if all of your children were born alive or if you had any miscarriages due to erythroblastosis fetalis. Erythroblastosis fetalis is when an Rh negative mama makes IgG RhD antibodies after a bit of mama's Rh- blood & baby's Rh+ blood mix at birth. This is of particular importance to Rh- females with Rh+ babies. It's normally not a problem with the first baby because it may take a few weeks after baby 1's birth for the IgG RhD antibodies to be present, but is for later Rh+ babies of that Rh- mama. IgG RhD antibodies can pass through the placenta & attack the 2nd Rh+ baby.See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type for a fairly good description of blood typing

Who is the most harmed when erythroblastosis fetalis occurs?
Erythroblastosis fetalis is a potentially life threatening blood disorder in fetus or new born infant. It happens when the mother possesses Rh negative blood where the foetus posses Rh positive blood which turns it weak anaemic nd jaundiced or in severe case death of the foetus occurs..

What is erythroblasto foetalis?
Erythroblastosis fetalis is severe anaemia with excess red blood-forming cells in new born babies. Possibly due to incompatibility between baby's and mother's blood.
