Patient's question:
Does the probability of hemolytic disease in children born to a female with type O blood and a male with AB blood increase?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, the blood type of the fetus may be A or B. Since the mother's blood type is O, there is still a possibility of hemolysis.Advice: It is recommended to check the titer of blood type antibodies before pregnancy. For those with high titer, traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be administered before pregnancy to reduce antibodies and prevent the baby from developing ABO hemolytic disease during pregnancy.
After pregnancy, antibody titer should be checked regularly. The first check should be at 16 weeks of pregnancy, the second at 28-30 weeks, and then every 2-4 weeks after that. Once the antibody titer increases, oral traditional Chinese medicine should be given to the pregnant woman, one dose per day until delivery.
For those diagnosed with blood type incompatibility hemolytic disease during pregnancy, comprehensive treatment should be administered for 10 days at 24, 30, and 33 weeks to enhance the fetus's resistance.
