A member asked:

What does it mean when you are rh negative? im o- and rh negative.

Lack the D antigen: You do not make the d antigen of the rh system. The little minus on o-/o neg means the same thing. If your unborn child has d antigen from dad, you can become sensitized to it; your obstetrician will know what to do in this case.

Nothing: It is a normal blood group and has no adverse effect on your health.
