it depends on what the father's blood type is, there is a 50/50 chance that your child will have your blood type

Which baby gets erythroblastosis fetalis?

The second baby, normally. Erythroblastosis Foetalis is when a baby with a positive blood group is born to a mother of a negative blood group, and the mother has been 'sensitized' during a previous pregnancy. The mother's body identifies the fetus as a 'foreign' protein and her body's immune system tries to fight the foreign protein, much like an allergic reaction.


If father has AB positive blood and mother has A negative blood is there any problem for the child or the mother?

Yes this combination could cause problems for the baby it is called Rhesus Disease or RhD haemolytic disease of the new born. There are treatments available that should be discussed with your doctor. The problem occurs mostly not with the first baby that is Rh+ but the second one.


How soon can baby's blood type be checked?

Usually not until the baby is born. If there are severe problems during the pregnancy, the doctor might get a sample of the fetus's blood, and possibly even do a blood transfusion in the womb if the mother and baby are not compatible.


Can a mom with Rh positive blood have an Rh positive baby?

The most severe form of erythroblastosis fetalis is that resulting from Rh incompatibility. But you can have erythroblastosis fetalis with ABO incompatibility as well. And this can occur with any child, even the first, and even with an Rh-negative child. However, if you're referring to Rh-incompatibility erythroblastosis fetalis, the answer to your question is, "Not usually" (assuming she hasn't had a previous Rh-positive child). In Rh-incompatibility, erythroblastosis fetalis occurs with the woman's second Rh-positive child. The first Rh-positive child's blood gets into the mother's bloodstream (e.g. at childbirth). The mother's blood makes antibodies to Rh. Since the first child is already born, this does not affect the first child. Then, when she has a second Rh-positive child, her antibodies cross the placenta and attack that child's blood cells. On the other hand, if the mother is exposed to the Rh factor of the first child's blood earlier in the pregnancy somehow, then I suppose she could develop enough antibodies to cause a problem for that first child.


Why does the first born child not have erythroblastosis fetalis?

The first child born of a female is generally not at risk for erythroblastosis fetalis because the mother's immune system has not been exposed to the fetal blood antigens and therefore has not produced antibodies against it. However, by the second pregnancy there is a slight risk if the blood type of the fetus is not compatible with the mother's blood type.

You are o what blood type do you have to worrie about when having a baby?

None. What you have to worry about is if the mother's blood type is (-) negative and the father's is (+)positive. When this happens, the baby inside the mother will be (+) and the mother will make antibodies to the baby's blood for the first pregnancy. This will not affect the firstborn, but will affect the second born. This is why they give Rh - moms a shot of Rhogam to keep the mothers antibodies from attacking the baby's bloodcells resulting in anemia.


Can the baby be born with blood type A if the father is blood type o and the mother is blood type B?

No.

Can a baby be born with blood type A or O if father is blood type A dominant and mother is blood type O dominant?

The baby can be born with either. My father is Type A and my mother is O. I'm A, and my brother is O. It is possible that it will complicate the pregnancy though. The baby can be born with either.

Can a baby be born with blood type A if his father is blood type O and his mother is blood type AB?

Yes, a child of those parents can be born with blood type A or B.


How does a baby have o blood type and mom has ab and dad has b?

A baby with O blood type can be born to a mother with AB blood type and a father with B blood type if the mother is a carrier of the O blood type allele from a parent and passes it on to the baby. The baby inherits one O allele from the mother and one B allele from the father, resulting in O blood type.


Can a baby be born with blood type o if the father is blood type o and the mother blood type a?

Yes. The father's blood type must be oo. The mother's blood type could either be Ao or AA (both of these are blood type A). If the mothers blood type is Ao, she could give the o gene to the baby, resulting in the baby being type oo (or type o). (In order to have blood type o, you must have an o from your mother and an o from your father.)


Can a baby be born if father is blood type A dominant and mother is blood type O dominant?

Yes. The baby will have either blood type O+ or A+ (I'm assuming you're referring to positive when you say dominant)
