IF mother has a RH negative blood and father has a A positive blood what blood type will fetus have?

fetus will be positive. The first child is okay but the second child may cause some problems so you need to get RhoGAM shot


Is there any problems of having kids when couples have same Rh factor?

If both parents have the same Rh factor (positive or negative), there is no risk of Rh incompatibility that could affect future pregnancies. Rh factor only becomes a concern when the mother is Rh-negative and the father is Rh-positive, which can lead to Rh incompatibility in the fetus.


What are the problems when o negative blood group women marry a 'b' positive blood group men?

The only problem that I know of is if the woman gets pregnant and the baby is positive. She will then have to have a shot to reduce the risk of miscarriage. This is only to do with the negative and positive aspect. As far as O and B are concerned, I don't know of any complications.


What is the difference between negative and positive blood types?

Negative and Positive blood types refer to the presence of the Rhesus D (RhD) antigen. Rhesus is the second main blood group typing after the A,B,O system. e.g. AB+ means the blood cells have A and B and RhD antigens present on the blood cell surface. O- means that A and B and RhD antigens are not present on the surface of the blood cell.


What are the sequence of events that result in erythroblastosis fetalis?

Erythroblastosis fetalis occurs when a mother with Rh-negative blood type is sensitized to Rh-positive blood through a previous pregnancy or blood transfusion, leading to the production of antibodies that attack Rh-positive red blood cells in a subsequent Rh-positive fetus. This results in hemolysis of the fetal red blood cells, leading to anemia and other complications in the fetus.

What is Rh sensitization?

Rh sensitization is a condition where a person's immune system develops antibodies against Rh-positive red blood cells, typically occurring when an Rh-negative individual is exposed to Rh-positive blood. This immune response can cause complications during future pregnancies if an Rh-negative mother carries an Rh-positive fetus. Rh sensitization can be prevented with the administration of Rh immunoglobulin.

Is any problem if a Rh negative men marry Rh positive women give details?

It actually is just the opposite. An Rh negative women and a Rh positive man would be a concern for a pregnant women. If you are planning on having a baby and the women is Rh negative and man is Rh positive the women should receive a shot of immuglobulin so she doesn't build up antibodies that could destroy her fetus. Please consult your doctor.


What blood type will the baby be if one parent is a negative and the other is o positive?

If the fetus is O positive, there will be no problem. If the fetus is O negative and is the first O negative baby, nothing will happen to it, but the subsequent O negative fetuses will be miscarried unless the mother takes some special injections during this pregnancy.


How does a unborn baby get food?

The fetus is connected to its mother by an umbilical cord. The mother's blood carries nutrients through the umbilical cord to the fetus and carries away wastes from the fetus.


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


What carries oxygenated blood to the developing fetus?

The umbilical cord, which carries oxygenated blood to the fetus and waste away from the fetus. The belly button is where the cord was attached to the developing baby.


What are the indications for RhoGAM?

Rhogam also called anti-Rh or anti-D immunoglobulin. An injectable blood product used to protect an Rh-positive fetus from antibodies by its Rh-negative mother.it is given routinely to Rh-negative women after pregnancies in which they carried Rh-positive fetuses to prevent the mother's immune system from reacting to the Rh-positive blood of any subsequent fetus


Is there any complications in getting pregnant if the partners are O negative and B positive blood group?

The developing fetus of an Rh negative female is at risk for Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn if the father is Rh positive and the child has inherited the "D" antigen from the father (RH positive).


With a Rh plus mother and a Rh- fetus will either develop antibodies against Rh antigens?

no when Rh negative blood from the fetus interacts with Rh+ blood of the mother there will be no antibodies produced due to absence of antigen on the Rh- blood cells and when Rh positive is mixed with Rh negative blood of fetus no response is produced due to the fact that the fetus has an underdeveloped immune system


How does Rh factor affect a fetus?

When a mother is Rh negative and her baby is Rh positive, she may develop antibodies to the baby's blood that will cause it to hemolyze


What structure carries between the fetus and the placenta?
