My blood type is o+ and my fiancee'z is

blood groups face problems conceiving a
baby ?

a Similar Question On Ivillage

I saw a similar question on ivillage, this
was the answer that they gave:
******************************************
*******************
there is absolutely no risk to sharing the
same blood type. The pregnancy risk
normally associated with blood type has to
do not with the abo factor (the letter
designation in blood type) but with the rh
factor (the "positive" or "negative"
designation). A woman who is rh negative
may develop antibodies to her baby's blood
if the father -- and thus the baby -- is
rh positive. Untreated, these antibodies
can attack the blood cells of the fetus.
This is easily prevented with an injection
of a substance called rhogam that blocks
the formation of these antibodies in the
mother. In rare cases, an intrauterine
blood transfusion may be necessary. Blood
testing and rhogam shots (when necessary)
are a standard part of prenatal care.
We often recommend pre-pregnancy screening
for rh and other, rarer abnormal blood
antibodies that may affect a pregnancy.
Testing the man is necessary only if the
woman's test reveals abnormal antibodies.
Luckily, the presence of antibodies that
can cross the placenta and attack the baby
are quite rare. If you do have such
antibodies, or if you have had a prior
pregnancy in which hemolytic disease (in
which antibodies attack the fetus)
occurred, then you and your husband may
want to consider using donor sperm to
avoid this risk to the fetus.
******************************************
******************
so according to this article since you
both have the "+" designation, then there
shouldn't be any problem

I'm .Rh negative and my fiance is .Rh
positive so I had to get the shot. Only
15 percent of women are .Rh negative.
The post .Tigres made is 100%
correct...There should be no problem with
blood types and conceiving...

I'm not good with blood types but either
one is possible I think. Don't quote me
though my brain's not quite working yet.
It's still too early. :)

Mee tooo!! Lol...I never thought I come
across another .A- person, let alone 3!!!
Wow...I tried looking up the blood type a
while back and got soo little, it wasn't
even funny!! Lol...
I don't know what my .Fiance is but, more
than likely, he's positive. His parents
have no idea cuz he was born at .Charity
.Hospital. Records aren't to great at
that hospital. Of course now it's gone
forever, but hey!! It's all good!
