Question
A mother with O-type blood and a father with AB-type blood are worried about their baby having a higher incidence of ABO hemolytic disease. They are considering whether to get pregnant and are seeking professional medical advice.
Answer
Based on medical expertise, the occurrence of hemolytic disease is not solely determined by blood type and requires further examination for assessment. Therefore, it is unnecessary to worry about the risk of hemolytic disease based solely on blood type. It is recommended that this couple can conceive naturally and undergo prenatal testing before pregnancy to ensure the baby’s health. At the same time, it is suggested that they choose reputable hospitals for consultation and examination, and maintain a balanced diet in preparation for pregnancy.
