Im "b" positive and my husband is "a" negative is there risks to our children?

Question

Im "b" positive and my husband is "a" negative is there risks to our children?

Answer 1

My blood type is "A Negative".  Due to the negative "RH" factor, I had to take two shots during my pregnancy so that my body would not try to fight off the baby as if it (she) was an infection of some sort.  As long as you do not have the negative blood type there is NO risks involved.

Answer 2

no when the mother is positve theres no problem but when the mother is negative like i am i had to have two injections whilst pregnant 1st at 28 weeks 2nd at 34 weeks and if my baby wasn't negative which he is i would have had to have a jab at his birth

Answer 3

Nope you're good

Answer 4

I don't think so, because you have the positive rh factor already, your body will not reject your baby's blood type whether it is positive or negative. I'm pretty sure the a or b doesn't matter.

Answer 5

this is what i found out... hope it helps. but i would always check with your doctor about risks and ttc. good luck. hope it helps. i do knowthat if your + and the baby is - you will have to get a shot but check on it and see what the doc says...

Blood Types in Pregnancy

About blood types:

Every person has a blood type, (O, A, B, or AB) and an Rh factor, either positive or negative. The blood type and the Rh factor simply mean that a person's blood has certain specific characteristics. The blood type is found as proteins on red blood cells and in body fluids. The Rh factor is a protein that is found on the covering of the red blood cells. If the Rh factor protein is present on the cells, the person is Rh positive. If there is no Rh factor protein, the person is Rh negative.

The following are the possible combinations of blood types with the Rh factors:

Blood Type A B O AB

Rh positive A+ B+ O+ AB+

Rh negative A- B- O- AB-

Rh factors are genetically determined. A baby may have the blood type and Rh factor of either parent, or a combination of both parents. Rh factors follow a common pattern of genetic inheritance. The Rh positive gene is dominant (stronger) and even when paired with an Rh negative gene, the positive gene takes over.

If a person has the genes + +, the Rh factor in the blood will be positive.

If a person has the genes + -, the Rh factor will also be positive.

If a person has the genes - -, the Rh factor will be negative.

A baby receives one gene from the father and one from the mother. More specifically, consider the following:

  If a father's Rh factor genes are + +, and the mother's are + +, the baby will have one + from the father and one + gene from the mother. The baby will be + + Rh positive.

--------------------------------------...



  If a father's Rh factor genes are + +, and the mother's are - -, the baby will have one + from the father and one - gene from the mother. The baby will be + - Rh positive.

--------------------------------------...



  If the father's genes are + - Rh positive, and the mother's are + - Rh positive, the baby can be:

+ + Rh positive

+ - Rh positive

- - Rh negative



--------------------------------------...



  If the father's genes are - -, and the mother's are + -, the baby can be

+ - Rh positive

- - Rh negative



--------------------------------------...



  If the father's genes are - -, and the mother's are - -, the baby will be:

- - Rh negative



Problems with the Rh factor occur when the mother's Rh factor is negative and the baby's is positive. Sometimes, an incompatibility may occur when the mother is blood type O and the baby is either A or B.

Answer 6

Since your RH factor is positive, then there should be no problems.

Answer 7

no

Answer 8

no. you as a B+ can carry a A- without any harm or any additional medication.

If you were a negative and your baby had a positive blood type, you would have to take medication to counteract that difference.

Answer 9

when you get your booking in appointment the midwife will ask many questions and  this needs to be mentioned, you will get a blood test done and they will go from there, good luck and congrats

Answer 10

No, I have a negative Rh factor and my husband is Rh positive which was a problem for us because I am the one with the negative Rh factor. When the woman is negative is when its a problem.
