Patient's question:
Now my wife is 18 weeks pregnant. It seems everything is normal so far, but she asked me to check my blood type. She heard from others that children with A or O blood types are prone to hemolytic disease. My wife is type A, and I found out today that I am type O. I'm not sure if there's a possibility of hemolytic disease for our child.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: No, it is not common. Generally, women have O blood type, while men have A, B, or AB blood types.Advice: If there is hemolysis, there is usually jaundice. Or, if the baby is born, there may be jaundice.
