Common Questions and Answers about Type o blood and pregnancy

blood

Avatar f tn Reason why, the only reason why having o- blood type is a problem is if your baby has a different blood type then you and for some reason your blood is mixed during pregnancy then your body will not recognize it and try to fight it off like an infection. It will create antibodies but those antibodies only happen in second, third, or any other pregnancy in the future.Your body won't make them during your first.
Avatar f tn ) ut im conserned on the fact that i have O- blood type and My OBGYN did say that on the 2nd time expecting it was more risking... Does any one know more info about this? I realldy didnt get much just the part that my body attacks the baby... So HELP!
Avatar f tn Husband and I are both veterans so we knew our blood types, I'm O neg and he's A pos. I had to get the rhogam at 28 weeks. It's nothing to worry over. Your doctor will go over everything with you. Just so you know though, they sick you in the hip and it burns and it will hurt for a while afterwards.
1422615 tn?1334064234 Type A carries anti-B antibodies, and Type B carries anti-A antibodies. Only Type AB carries no anti-blood type antibodies, which is why Type AB individuals can receive blood transfusions from anybody." I at first thought that this only applied to o- but several say both o-+ so which is it. My dh is o- , I AM O+. i ASSUMED that we would be fine but now i have had two m/c. firstone my water broke after i broke out in a bad rash 2 days before.
Avatar f tn my blood type is o+ and my husband believes his is o-. i am 24 weeks and see my dr on the 14th... im just wondering would i have to take the shots like someone with rh- blood bc the fact im a pos blood type and if he is a neg type??
Avatar n tn When you have RH negative you will need to get a shot for each pregnancy and after a baby is born, they test their blood type, if they are positive, they give you another shot. For my pregnancy after my miscarriage and my miscarriage, I had spotting and they brought me in for a shot right away instead of waiting for the 'standard 28 weeks'.
Avatar f tn i have a neg blood type to...an if its the same shot my mom told me about its used bcuz ur body will fight off the baby like it would a cold No worries tho....
Avatar f tn I had it before and will need it again with this little one. I'm not gonna lie the shot hurt a lot lol. Other than that your baby will be fine.
Avatar f tn I hope this helps. I have B- blood type, and my daughter has type +, so I had to get a shot during the 27th week.
Avatar f tn If your body senses babies blood and they have a positive blood type your body will try to get rid off the foreign body, the shot prevents this from happening. You and baby are fine now just be careful and they usually give the shot at 28 weeks. Luckily both my husband and I are positive. My mom was negative so she had to go through this with me.
Avatar f tn I have O- blood and I have just found out that I am expecting. My mum suffered various miscarriages due to this reason as her body rejected the baby. I'm scared incase I do the same as it's just nature. What can I do to prevent this? Someone please help.
Avatar f tn My blood type is O- and I've heard that this may cause problems for my baby. Are any of you mommies O- as well? What did you have to do in order to keep you and baby safe? And was everything okay? Is your baby healthy now? I just want to know what I need to expect. I am almost 13 weeks pregnant. Thanks.
Avatar f tn Okay so my blood type is o-negative , I'll be 20 weeks tomorrow and everybody has been telling me that I'm suppose to get a shot twice so that my blood doesn't fight off the babies blood if he has a different type. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Should I call my Dr and ask?
Avatar f tn I am o negative blood type as well and i didnt miscarry i only got my first shot at 28 weeks. i dont why they said its your blood type. my doctor was more concerned about me then the baby.
Avatar f tn I had to get the shot last pregnancy and they said it was because I had a negative blood type and the baby would probably have a positive blood type. But my Dr didn't actually say anything about it until the day I actually got the shot. I think I was around 35-36 weeks but I dnt recall exactly when I got it.
7458937 tn?1391882099 I just had my blood work for it this morning and have to go back tomorrow for my shot, I'm o- and my husband is o+.
Avatar f tn Is it because ur baby has the same blood type as urs?
1225198 tn?1336788230 MysticalChick is right. You are definetly ok, for SURE. It's the Rh +/- that makes the difference. My mom is O- and dad is AB+. ANYONE can take O- blood, but - can't take + blood. This makes O- blood like gold, and O+ is pretty important too. You should dontate blood more often! But even in the situation of one partner with + and the other with -, it won't PREVENT pregnancy, it would only make keeping the pregnancy difficult, if not impossible.
Avatar f tn They only give you O type blood if they have to because its a neutral blood type and your body wont reject it.
538330 tn?1232023960 My friend aiza is positive O and her husband is negative O what is the posible blood types of the baby?
8274643 tn?1406141596 Ok, so I just fond out from my doctor a few days ago that I have O- blood type and she said something about having to get Rhogam at 28 weeks, so my main question is what the heck is Rhogam and why do I need it?
Avatar f tn it's just a shot. You'll get one if you start to bleed at all, or at 28wks or so, and then after birthing your baby. essentially, it stops the baby's blood from mixing with yours. Because if that happens and the baby's blood type is different, your body will think it's a foreign object, and fight off the baby as if it is an infection and you'll miscarry. The shot stops it, and makes your body think that any blood it detects, is the same type as you.
3198629 tn?1367038423 Umm, my sister had to have a needle when she was pregnant with her first because she had a negative blood type and the father was a positive. My question is, I don't know what blood type my fiance is and I'm O+, but I was under the impression that if you were positive the fathers blood type didn't matter, is that true? I don't want my body to attack the baby..
Avatar n tn My fiance just got blood typed as LAN blood type after not knowing his blood type for 23 years, I am O neg. What complications could we have with conceiving and pregnancy?
1181036 tn?1367368640 I'm O- and wanted to let you know that being RH negative does NOT effect you in early pregnancy. Just because you got the Rogam shot doesn't mean that the RH negative was causing the issue. You get the shot so you don't get sensitized and have issues in the future. If you are RH sensitized it could cause issues in late pregnancy (3rd trimester). I had some spotting with my second pregnancy and needed the Rogam shot, but for me I had a missed miscarriage.
Avatar n tn I'm not sure even if it's true that it has any practical impact on you, however. Type O is the most common blood type, and it's impossible that with the vast number of cases out there that a ton of them aren't Type O, so even if it's less that what would have been expected compared to other blood types, it doesn't mean you are freer to move about the room, so to speak.
Avatar f tn m rh- also, blood type is B-, I got my shots at 28 weeks and 34 weeks, if my baby has a negitive blood type I won't need to get one after she's born.
