Is there any problem in pregnancy if mother is O- and father is O plus?

Usually not the first pregnancy, but if the baby is rh positive, during birth some of the baby's blood may cross into the mother's bloodstream and then she will be sensitized and will produce anti-rh antibodies, which could harm the second baby if it is rh positive. There is an injection that is given to rh negative mothers during pregnancy to prevent this reaction.

IF a mother is HR negative and father is HR positive why is second pregnancy a problem?

If the mother is Rh negative and the father Rh positive there is a possibility that the unborn baby will be Rh positive as well. If the baby is Rh positive than the mother (who is Rh negative) has antibodies made for Rh positive substances which would include the baby. Basically the mothers body will attack the baby because it is not a match with her body. Commonly this is not as much of a problem with the first baby because the body does not build up the resistance to the first child but the second child will often run into complications because the body has built up antibodies against the second child's Rh positive blood. This is often called Rhesus disease or Rh disease.


Why would there be cause for concern if a young pregnant mother is Rh negative her husband is Rh positive and this is their second child?

Their children have a 50/50 chance of being Rh Positive. If they have an Rh negative first child, there will be no problems with the second child (with Rh groups).There might be a problem if the first child was Rh positive. It is quite likely that during the delivery the child's blood mixed with the mothers. The mother would then have began producing Rh positive antibodies. This means that if the second child is also Rh positive - the antibodies will 'attack' the fetus.
