Discounting rare but possible mutations the following holds true. Parents blood groups A and A, A and B, A and O, B and B, B and O, O and O can produce type O blood in their children. The rhesus factor (Rhesus positive/rhesus negative) depends on the rhesus pairing in the parents as follows: Father rhesus positive, mother rhesus positive or rhesus negative = rhesus positive or rhesus negative Father rhesus negative, mother rhesus positive = rhesus positive or rhesus negative Father rhesus negative, mother rhesus negative = rhesus negative Example: A rhesus positive father and rhesus positive mother of blood type A and O respectively could produce an O positive child, as could a rhesus positive father and rhesus negative mother both of blood group O.

Can blood be either B positive or negative?
Not exactly. Human blood may have positive (ca. 80%) or negative (remaining 20%) Rhesus factor. It means that that a substance known as Rhesus factor is either found or not in a human blood test.

A problem known as Rhesus conflict may arise when a Rhesus-negative woman is pregnant with a Rhesus-positive baby.The name Rhesus factor comes from Rhesus monkey in which it was first found.

If you are type O but rhesus positive, your blood cannot be given to someone type O but rhesus negative or their immune system will react to the rhesus part of the donated blood.

How might erythroblastosis fetalis?
It happens when the father is of a positive blood group (having Rhesus (Rh) factor) and mother of a negative blood group (devoid of Rh factor), the fetes' blood group will be of the positive type, i.e., having Rh factor as having Rh factor is a dominant trait and can mask the negative blood group. So, this creates problems for the kid as well as mother during pregnancy. Usually, the first pregnancy will not have much complications. But, the second pregnancy onwards, the antibodies present in the mother from the first pregnancy will be present and is harmful for the fetes.
