I have A+ positive blood and My husband has O- are we going to lose our baby???

Question

I have been reading about women who lose their babies because them and their partner have conflicting blood types. Is this true? I am 15 weeks and I have invested alot of my emotions and heart into this baby. I would die if I could have prevented a miscarriage...

Answer 1

I think there is great chance of an infection for the baby if a positive and negative blood mix up BUT I heard the mother has to be the negative carrier while the father is the positive.

Answer 2

No.

The conflicting blood types come into play if the MOTHER is Rh negative (any negative blood type). It usually affects second pregnancies if a woman is sensitized to the Rh factor.

A woman should not be sensitized to the Rh factor nowadays because of a medication called Rhogam.

Answer 3

Don't worry. The cases you read about are cases in which the mom had negative blood type and there exists a shot for women in this case (I know very well, since I'm o- and pregnant).

Everything is fine, try to relax, stress is the worst thing you can do when you are pregnant

And CONGRATS! xx

Answer 4

No it isn't true.  The only time a pregnancy is affected by blood typing is if the mother has the RH factor to worry about which you don't.
