what wld happen to a rhesus -ve foetus if its blood mixes with its mother whose rhesus +ve?

Nothing. The problem would be if it were in reverse.\nThe mother being Rh-, and the fetus is Rh+. Then the mother's body would view the fetus as a potential threat and begin building antibodies to this "foreign" body.\nThe first pregnancy is usually fine, as it takes the body a little while to build up those antibodies. Subsequent pregnancies are in danger, which is why a woman is given a shot of Gamma Globulin after the pregnancy, to counteract those antibodies.

The baby makes its own blood. It comes neither from the father or the mother. While it is in the womb, its own blood circulates through the cord and receives nutrients from the mother but the baby's blood and the mother's are separate and never normally mix. \n\nSince the baby receives genes from both the mother and the father, the type of blood is influenced by that.

I want to know who are any of you to judge this person. I bet if we followed you'd have some issues also. The first person who posted is right. And just so you know smartass a baby is not automatically born with HIV if the mother has it.

Can a man have, let's say, B+? Yes.\nCan a woman have, let's say, B+? Yes.\nCan they get married? Yes.\n\nExact same blood type will not be a problem. Only way for problem is if baby is + and mom is -. Only way for that to happen is if Dad is + and mom is -.

I think  the fetus, receiving oxygen via the placenta, is exposed to much Hemoglobin but I am not sure I would ask your doctor

Both parents contribute.\n\nA/A parent can only pass along A gene \nA/O parent can pass along either A or O gene \nB/B parent can only pass along B gene \nB/O parent can pass along either B or O gene \nO/O parent can only pass along O gene \nAB parent can pass along either A or B gene \n\nalso in the source about half way down page there is a list of offspring possibilitys listed.

If B type is Combined With B Nothing Will happen\nIf B type is Combined With A The Blood will not accept this combination and it may lead to Reaction in the Blood which may cause death\nIf B type is Combined With AB Nothing Will happen since AB is a Universal Acceptor\nIf B type is Combined With O The Blood will not accept this combination and it may lead to Reaction in the Blood which may cause death

Blood is everything!! You do not want children with problems, do you?\n\nFor your blood type, your best match is: \n\nType O\n\nA+ and B+ can cause hemogoblinia, which causes small stature in offspring and can cause clawlike hands to form\n\nA+ and A can cause 'Vampirism' which results in offspring that tends to stay out late, wear dark clothes, and engage in orgiastic bloodletting parties.\n\nO is the 'black' of blood. It goes with everything.

4 out my 5 sons have their dad's blood type while only one has mine. It really doezsn't matter though......\nWiserangel is nuts. A child HAS to have the blood type of one or the other parent. Can't just have one made up..........

The children would have bloodtype A or bloodtype B.\n\nThe "O" which they get from one parent is merely an absence of the information necessary to have specific antibodies against other bloodtypes.

What causes hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN)?\n\n\nIt's basically an incompatible blood of mother and baby, due to an Rh - mom and Rh + dad.  Baby has Rh + and so mother's immune system (antibodies) starts attacking baby's "foreign cells".  For the second pregancy, the mom will be "Rh sensitized" --remembers, so it may most likely not occur again.\n\n"HDN most frequently occurs when an Rh negative mother has a baby with an Rh positive father. When the baby's Rh factor is positive, like the father's, problems can develop if the baby's red blood cells cross to the Rh negative mother. "

Someone with A- blood can donate to a person with A+ blood type.  Both of your blood types are A (no problem there) and your blood is lacking the Rh factor (hence your blood is A-).  Since you have the same blood type and you are lacking the Rh factor you have no problem donating to a person with A+ blood type.\n\nAnd to correct wiserangel O- is the universal donor, O+ is the universal reciever.

The risk lies in the mother and foetus, not the father. If mummy is RH- and baby is RH+, mummy will develop antibodies against RH+. The second time mummy carries a RH+ baby, baby gets killed as an foreign particle. To know your RH factor, do a blood test. The +/ - sign following your blood group (A, B, AB, O) will tell you which RH factor you have.

Which antibodies are you talking about?\nProbably anti-Rh+. If you are Rh- and are positive for antibodies against Rh, your baby's red blood cells may be destroyed after being born if he/she is Rh+. Therefore, your doctor tested you for antobodies and now, knowing that you have them, necessary precautions will be taken during delivery to ensure that your baby is ok. They might need to inject your baby with a special serum neutralizing these antibodies, and then she/he will be fine.

They have to check it because if you are given the wrong type of blood and you are RH negative, then the antibodies in your blood will react against each other and create an attack on your body. I know I'm RH negative and have had to get Rhogam shot with every pregnancy
