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.

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.


What changes occur in blood volume during pregnancy and how does it impact the health of the mother and the developing fetus?

During pregnancy, blood volume increases significantly to support the growing fetus. This increase in blood volume can lead to changes in blood pressure and circulation. It is important for the mother's health to ensure proper blood flow to the placenta and fetus. Inadequate blood volume can result in complications such as pre-eclampsia or poor fetal growth. Monitoring blood volume and managing any related issues is crucial for the health of both the mother and the developing fetus.


Can incompatible blood types during pregnancy lead to complications for the mother and baby?

Yes, incompatible blood types during pregnancy can lead to complications for both the mother and baby, such as hemolytic disease of the newborn. This condition occurs when the mother's antibodies attack the baby's red blood cells, potentially causing severe anemia and other complications. It is important for healthcare providers to monitor and manage this condition to ensure the health and safety of both the mother and baby.

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)
