Patient's question:
I am blood type A, my husband is blood type B. Will there be neonatal hemolysis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is generally not the case. If there is an incompatibility between the blood types of the mother and the fetus, the red blood cells in the fetal blood will gradually be destroyed under this incompatible condition, which may lead to various pathological changes, causing miscarriage, premature birth, neonatal hemolytic disease, and in severe cases, it may even result in fetal death. The causes of maternal-fetal blood type incompatibility are primarily Rh and ABO blood types. Generally, pregnant women with blood type incompatibility should undergo regular monitoring at specialized hospitals to prevent and reduce harm.
