No. The RhoGAM (Human Immunoglobulin D) shots are for the Rh negative (Rh-) mother.

If it is a first pregnancy, there is usually not an issue. For any terminated pregnancy, by abortion or by miscarriage, then there is usually a RhoGAM shot given in effort to prevent the mother from forming antibodies against any Rh positive child. At the beginning of each pregnancy, the mother's blood "titer" is check -- this will indicate if she HAS formed any antibodies against the Rh positive blood type.

Can a person that has o positive blood and a person with a positive blood make a child that has a negative blood?

Yes, it is possible for a child to have a negative blood type if both parents are carriers of the Rh negative gene, even if one parent is O positive and the other is A positive. Blood type inheritance is determined by a combination of both parents' blood types and Rh factors.


What are the different blood types, and how does having a positive blood type impact blood donation and transfusion compatibility?

There are four main blood types: A, B, AB, and O. Each blood type can be either positive or negative, based on the presence of a protein called Rh factor. Having a positive blood type means that the Rh factor protein is present in the blood. When it comes to blood donation and transfusion compatibility, individuals with positive blood types can receive blood from donors with either positive or negative blood types. However, individuals with negative blood types can only receive blood from donors with negative blood types. This is because receiving blood with a different Rh factor can lead to a negative immune response in the recipient's body.
