If a woman is blood type A- is ?

Question

If a woman is blood type A- is there a risk to the baby? Or will there be some complications down the line?

Thank you,

Answer 1

if the baby has positive blood the first will be fine, however, the mother's body will build up antibodies which could cause complications with the second baby

Answer 2

The problem only occurs if the father is Rh+ and the fetus also is. It causes the mother's blood to form antibodies that could cause problems in later pregnancies. However, most women who are Rh- get a shot during their pregnancy to prevent future problems.

Strangely, I am not positive but not completely negative either. I did not require any shots but it turns out that one wouldn't have been needed anyway. My older daughter has the same blood type I do.

Answer 3

If the father is blood type any +, there is a minor issue to address.  She will be given a Rogam injection during the pregnancy and after delivery.  It's not a problem, just a preventitive.
