No, it's not. I am Rh- with a positive husband and we had our three sons easily. If your OB is not already aware, I'm sure blood work will be done, and a big orange sticker will be put in your chart that you are Rh- so that the appropriate shots may be administered. I am now 37 and it's taking us longer to conceive, so age does make a difference. I was, however, pregnant back in June, bu sadly miscarried. We became pregnant rather quickly, on our first try as a matter of fact. I also have other problems, i.e., tilted and septated uterus with an incompetent cervix, and I still went on to have my first three children quite easily and with only minimal complications.

Can Rh antibodies of Rh- be detected?

A person who is Rh negative may have antibodies if he or she has been exposed in the past to Rh positive blood. Rhogam will prevent this sensitization in a pregnant woman with negative blood carrying an Rh positive baby.

How does rh negative blood types affect pregnancy?

Having a negative rh blood type can seriously affect pregnancy and should be monitored closely. The possible incompatibility between the mother and the fetus could result in the mothers antibodies attacking the fetus as if it were a virus. This can be prevented by a shot roughly 28 weeks into the pregnancy.


What is the Rh blood type?

People with different blood types have proteins specific to that blood type on the surfaces of their red blood cells (RBCs). Rh factor "Rhesus factor" is type of antigens on the human blood cell. The presence of this antigen in human blood given (+) besides it's blood type. The absence of this antigen is given (-) besides blood type. For example A- or A+.


When the Father type O negative and mother A positive what type of blood will the baby have?

in science the positive blood type has two Geno-types :Rh+ Rh- or Rh+Rh+and the negative blood type has only one Geno-type :Rh- Rh-there are 3 possibilities :Rh + Rh- X Rh - Rh- 50% of kids will be Rh+ 50% will be Rh-Rh+ Rh+ X Rh - Rh- 100% of kids will be Rh+Rh+ Rh- x Rh+ Rh- either possibility exists in theory 25% could be Rh -

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 will happen in my second pregnancy if my first child had severe jaudice resulting from me being o negative?

If the first child was Rh positive it is less likely that the jaundice was due to Rh incompatibility unless you had an abortion earlier and did not take anti D. ABO incompatibility is more likely. If you took anti D after the first delivery because the first child was Rh positive then second child may not be affected.


What is the result if the father is type a negative and the mother is type o?

Well there is an ABO and Rh incompatibility, then baby is at risk of jaundice or erythroblastosis fetalis.

How does the RH factor affect a woman who is pregnant?

The Rh factor is a protein found in red blood cells. Most people are Rh positive, but if a woman is pregnant and Rh negative, this could definitely affect her fetus causing brain damage, or even death in the fetus or newborn.


What creates Rh disease?

If an Rh negative woman is pregnant with an Rh positive fetus, her body will produce antibodies against the fetus's blood, causing a disease known as Rh disease
