For blood types, you must consider the antigens and antibodies that are involved. epending on the presence or absense of these proteins, a person may have A, B, AB, or O blood. With pregnancy the chief concern is the Rh factor, which determines whether somebody is positive or negative. If mom is positive and da is positive, then the baby will be positive for the Rh factor, and there will be no complications. This same concept occurs for parents that are both negative for the Rh factor. If mmom is positive and dad is negative, then the dominant gene (positive) will be found in the baby and there will be no problems. However, if mom is negative and dad is positive, then the baby will attain a positive Rh factor and be inside the mom's (negative) body. Then, the om's body will produce antibodies to ward off the foreign blood of the baby, possibly killing it. As long as a doctor is informed of this, the mom can take shot periodically to prevent the production of such antibodies an keep the baby safe.
