No: This combination of blood groups is compadible with normal pregnancy and blood groups do not effect fertility at the beginnning.After establishing a pregnancy, if the infant has rh+ blood, the pregnancy is managed with additional treatments to reduce the possibility the infant will trigger a transfusion like reaction with the mother and end up with excessive blood break down and jaundice.

No effect: The only concern will be with the next child if you have rhesus incompatibility. This is easily treated by your obstetrician.

None whatever: Anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong. You'll want to see about Rhogam Rx along the way to prevent sensitization to your unborn child. Good luck.
