If the mom has a different type of blood from the baby, it could trigger her body to make antibodies against the baby's blood. This is called hemolytic disease of the newborn, and could range from a mild condition with a little jaundice all the way to a condition called hydrops fetalis where the baby dies in utero.

Can an a positive blood type father have an o blood type baby?
First let Me say "Fathers don't have babys, Mothers do" To answer what I think is the intent of the question A AB B and O blood type is completely separate from RH factor which is + or - so The Fathers O blood type has absolutely nothing to do with the Rh factor of the babys blood. A father with Rh + blood can Father a baby with type O (or any other type) blood.
Does a baby necessarily have mothers or fathers blood group?
The same blood flowing in the body of the mother, flows in the child. So the mothers. As to the bloodtype it will have its own, either the same as one parent or a combination of the two. Mothers with negative blood who have children with positive blood are at greater risk of having a miscarriage. The Mothers blood NEVER comes in direct contact with the developing baby. The mother's blood supplies nutrients to the placenta which transfers nutrients (and oxygen) to the baby's blood.
Where does the human embryo get blood from mother or father?
The mother shares her blood with the fetus. The fetus makes its own blood. The mother's blood comes in close proximity to the fetal blood to exchange oxygen and nutrients, but the two bloods do not mix. If they mixed, mother and baby would always have the same blood type - which is not true.

Father is A mother is O plus and the baby is O plus is this the father?
Just because the babys blood and the fathers blood is different, it doesnt mean that there is a possibility that he ain't the father. For example, my fathers blood is different from my sisters and including but he still my father. I hope that answered your question. You are A dominant, but you have the O+ recessive gene. To rephrase what the others have said- if the mother is A plus, she would be AA or AO bloodtype. The father is something with an O as well, if the baby has an O. Father could be BO< AO< OO etc. (or he could have negative blood, and still have a positive blood child from this union)
