Can the firstborn baby be Rh negative?

Yes, the firstborn baby can be Rh negative if both parents carry the Rh-negative gene. The Rh factor is inherited from the parents, and if the mother is Rh negative and the father is also Rh negative, their child will be Rh negative. However, if the mother is Rh positive and the father is Rh negative, the child can either be Rh positive or Rh negative depending on the specific alleles inherited.


Can a child born with rh negative blood type be the offspring of an o positive father?

It depends on the genotype of the Rh+ parent. If that person is heterozygous, then yes there is a 50% chance of an Rh- baby.Father's Group (negative)Mother's Group (positive heterozygous)Rh +Rh -Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh -, Rh -Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh - Rh -http://www.bloodbook.com/inherited.htmlIf the positive parent is homozygous, the baby will be positive:Father's Group (negative)Mother's Group (positive homozygous)Rh +Rh +Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh + Rh -


Why do rh positive parents have an rh negative baby?

Each person carries two bits of rh imformation, called alleles, and each can be positive or negative. A person is rh+ if they have at least one positive allele. Only if both their alleles are negative are they considered as rh-. When two parents have a baby, they each pass one allele on. So if both parent has one positive and one negative allele, and both passed on their negative allele to their baby, then the baby would be rh negative. The chances of two rh positive parents having a rh negative baby are about 18%.


Is it more common to be Rh- or Rh plus?

Rh positive is more common than Rh negative. Approximately 85% of the population is Rh positive.


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.

What is Rh positive and Rh negative mean?

Rh factor is a protein that is found in the blood of about 85% of the population. Those who have the factor are Rh positive, while those who don't, are Rh negative. A person who is Rh negative can safely donate blood to persons with or without the protein. A person who is Rh positive can only donate to those who are Rh positive.
