Patient's question:
I am a woman, 29 years old. I have been thinking about having children recently. Could you please tell me if there is any problem if two people with the same blood type have children?Doctor's answer:
It's not a problem if the blood types are the same. Suggestions: Most mothers with ABO blood type incompatibility are type O. When the mother is type O and the fetus is type A or B, the A or B antigens in the fetal blood may enter the mother's blood for some reason, stimulating the mother's body to produce blood type antibodies. These antibodies pass through the placenta into the fetus's body and react again with the A or B antigens in the fetus, causing fetal red blood cells to clump together, leading to hemolysis.
