Question 1

my blood type is o positive, and my husband is a negative. will we have a+/- children, and would that make for high risk pregnancies?

Accepted Answer

Not high risk.: You will have either o/a, rh+/- offspring. In any case, since you are rh+, fetal anemia should not occur. A remote (1:1000)  possibility is mild neonatal hemolytic disease or just jaundice from maternal-fetal ABO incompatibility in case you carry an infant with a blood type to which you have anti-a antibodies. It still does not classify your pregnancy as high risk and you should expect good oucome.

Question 2

doctor,  my husband and i have the same blood type o+ can that cause us from having babies?

Accepted Answer

No: I wish all questions were as easy to answer. Congratulations on finding love and having the hope of starting a family.

Question 3

does your babies blood type end up being either what the mom is or dad is? or can it be differen?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Neither parent determines the blood type of the baby. The baby could have the same as one of the parents or a third, depending on the types involved. When you post a question, the more specific you are with things like the blood types, the more likely we are to give a specific answer.

Question 4

the clients blood typing reveals rh antigens what blood type would the client have rh receptive, rh negative , rh resistant, rh positive

Accepted Answer

Rh : Rh antigens are present in every blood. You would need to be more specific. Also, they blood type (a, b, ab, 0) is not connected/related to the rh + or rh - types; they are inherited independently.

Question 5

cytomegalovirus (cmv) during pregnancy? problems with babies? hi, i write, bcz i am concern. i got  a blood test and even though the result was negative, i got that i had this cmv virus non recently and i am pregnant, so i'm afraid my baby can get an

Accepted Answer

I : I can understand your concern, but you are doing all of the right things.  I am glad you have seen the specialist, which sounds like an infectious disease specialist.  I am glad you had follow up and that the repeat results were encouraging.  It sounds like you are doing everything just right and have a very good, thorough team of doctors.  Many women get various infections during pregnancy and may not even know it.  It is good that you have been so diligent about this testing.

Question 6

i had blood transfusions as an infant because i was a preemie what are the chances of me developing a blood clot in pregnancy? no history blood disor

Accepted Answer

Not related: Having blood transfusions years ago does not put you at increased risk for blood clots at any point in your life. If your personal and family histories are negative for clots, risk is the same as any other woman. If there is a family history of blood clots or miscarriage, then talk to OB about testing you for any increased risk.

Question 7

how do i prevent preeclampsia in my future pregnancies, ive had it twice now and lost both babies. i weigh 77 and im 165m tall. before my first pregnancy i was in perfect health and i never experienced high blood pressure until during my first baby?

Accepted Answer

Keeping weight gain: as low as is safe for baby, taking 81 mg aspirin, starting at 14 weeks, daily for the whole of the pregnancy.  Keeping an active lifestyle. these are some ways to help.  Also discuss with your doctor to be sure all factors are considered.

Question 8

when develops baby's blood type? at what stage of pregnancy? i have negative blood my husband positive

Accepted Answer

Conception: Blood type is determined genetically, so the baby's blood type was determined at conception. Since you are rH negative, if you have vaginal bleeding or a miscarriage you will need to be treated with a product called rhogam to prevent future immune responses to any future pregnancies.

Question 9

i`m pregnant, have rh-positive blood type and coombs test is positive. it`s my second pregnancy, in first i had negative coombs. will my baby be ok?

Accepted Answer

Unsure: You will likely need to have additional testing done during the pregnancy to determine if there is any compromise of the fetus.  If there is a problem with the fetus due to rh iso-immunization, then there are interventions that can improve the outcome.  Keep your appointments.

Question 10

if two family member wanted to get married with the same blood type, what is the chances of pregnancy and the baby for future?  does genetic test help

Accepted Answer

If family members...: Have a child, they may have something hidden in their genetic code that might reveal itself in the new baby.  It could be something barely noticeable or it might be something major and severe. The closer the relative (sister, first cousin etc.) the more likely a big problem is to turn up.  This is why doing this is not recommended.  I don't know that genetic testing will be of any help.
