Blood type o positive?
Well my girlfriend heard somewhere that o positive blood does not mix with a certain type of blood when they have a kid. The baby is reject by the o positive blood. Anyone know what type of blood this is. Give source if you can
Answers:
Regardless of blood type, 85 percent of all people carry a protein on their red blood cells known as the Rh factor. They are considered "Rh-positive." The other 15 percent lacking the Rh factor are described as "Rh-negative." (In African-Americans, about half as many are Rh-negative.)
If a woman is Rh-negative, her husband should be tested early in pregnancy. If he is also Rh-negative, the baby will be, too, so there's no problem.
Here is where the potential for problems comes in. When a woman is Rh-negative and her baby is Rh-positive (from an Rh-positive father). Under these circumstances, particularly in a second or third such pregnancy, the mother can develop anti-Rh antibodies that can attack the fetus and cause severe anemia in the fetus. This can happen if the baby's blood comes into contact with the mother's during pregnancy or delivery.
This can only happen if the mother is RH-negative. Since your GF is RH-positive, there is no potential for problems.
