Child Health - Parents having Same Blood Group

Child Health - Does it get affected if the parents have the Same Blood Group

Do not worry about anything. You have no problem. There are four major blood groups and two Rh factors in human beings. The major blood groups are A,B, AB and O, RH factors positive and negative. That is A,B, AB, O, rh factors positive and negative. Thaty is A,B, AB, O (+ve) or A,B,AB,O(-ve). So it is very common to be of the same group of blood in a couple. Nothing bad is happening or can happen in child bearing activity because of the same blood group or different blood group. There are many minor blood groups like M,N etc but they are not important for reproduction (or) blood transfusion.

Blood group incompatibility is possible sometimes but not always. In some situations where wife is RH-ve husband is Rh+ve and child in the womb is Rh+ve and there is mixing of maternal and foetal blood, then it can lead to abortions or hydropsfoetalis (abnormal newborn). This can be prevented by giving anti-D injections to mother while she is carrying the baby. Three hundred g every two months and one booster at the time of delivery. Very rarely ABO blood group incompatibility is seen. So you need not worry about your blood group and bearing a healthy child. Try to develop a positive attitude.
