If my blood is O+ and my boyfriend's is A- can we have a healthy child?

Question

We planning starting a family and we want children. Oh He's white and I'm black.

Answer 1

yes blood type rarely affects the health of the child

Answer 2

Blood type and race have nothing to do with being able to have children. Since you're the positive blood type, you won't even have to worry about the rhogam shot. You'll be fine!!

Answer 3

Each biological parent donates one of their two ABO alleles to their child. A mother who is blood type O can only pass an O allele to her son or daughter. A father who is blood type AB could pass either an A or a B allele to his son or daughter. This couple could have children of either blood type A (O from mother and A from father) or blood type B (O from mother and B from father).

Inherited Blood type

of child

O from the mother

A from the father A

O from the mother

B from the father B

Since there are 4 different maternal blood types and 4 different paternal blood types possible, there are 16 different combinations to consider when predicting the blood type of children.

Blood Type Calculator

The following Blood Type Calculator lets you determine the *possible* blood type of a child, given the blood types of the two biological parents or the *possible* blood types of one biological parent, given the blood types of the child and the other biological parent. We emphasize "possible" because, in most cases, blood typing is not conclusive when attempting to determine, include or exclude an individual as the parent of an offspring.

This calculator is based solely on theoretical principles. It would be a mistake to use this information to make any conclusions about your own family tree. Anyone wishing personal information about their own blood type inheritance is encouraged to contact their health care provider.

Answer 4

yes.  Part of the baby being healthy depends on how well you take care of the baby during gestation.

Answer 5

blood type or race have nothing to do with if you could have healthy children or not. that depends on lots of different things.

Answer 6

yes of course

Answer 7

yeah u can have a healthy child. Really the only thing that matters with your blood type is the rhogam factor. and ur doctor will check u for that. The rhogam factor is a something in ur blood, that if u have it and the baby dont or vice versa, ur body will try to build up antibodies against the baby. But don't worry about it bc the doctors will catch it. I have had to have the rh shot with both of my babies.
