A member asked:
Are there any long term effects on the mom if she has blood incompatibility with her baby?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Blood group or type incompatibility happens if the baby is rh positive and the mother is rh negative or if the baby has a or b blood type and mother has o blood type. Depending on the number of pregnancies, miscarriages, Rhogam shots etc, mother could be sensitized and might develop antibodies which can easily cross the placenta and affect the next baby (jaundice, severe anemia etc);.
