Patient's question:
I am 18 weeks pregnant and have never had a blood test before. Today, I had a blood test, and the results showed that my RH is negative and I am AB positive. I am Han Chinese, and both my parents are normal. The doctor said my blood is very rare. I want to know if this condition will bring any bad effects to the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: The purpose of checking your blood type is mainly to prevent the occurrence of neonatal hemolysis. According to the results, your blood type is indeed relatively rare, not because AB type is rare, but because Rh-negative is less common.Advice: Hemolysis is divided into two categories: ABO hemolysis and Rh hemolysis. This is also the reason for checking the two indicators mentioned above. Based on your results, your child:
1. Will not develop ABO hemolysis.
2. May develop Rh hemolysis, but this condition does not occur in the first pregnancy. It may occur in subsequent pregnancies. If it does occur, it is fatal to the fetus.
I hope my response is helpful. I am happy to provide further consultation.
