Question
Does the blood type of an O-type blood RH positive dad and an A-type mom’s child have any issues?
Answer
Experts analyze that when the mother is O-type blood RH positive and the father is A-type blood, the risk of neonatal hemolytic disease in the firstborn is relatively low. Typically, hemolytic diseases are more common in the second child, as the mother may have already produced antibodies against the fetus’s blood type during the first pregnancy. However, each situation is unique, and risk factors may also vary due to individual differences. It is recommended to undergo regular prenatal and blood tests during pregnancy to monitor maternal-fetal health status. If any signs of hemolysis are detected, appropriate medical measures should be taken immediately. In addition, for Rh-negative mothers, it is particularly important to pay attention to rh immunoglobulin injections during pregnancy and after delivery to reduce the risk of Rh incompatibility.
