Patient's question:
My wife is 21 weeks pregnant. The prenatal check-up revealed a single umbilical artery in the fetus and a single abnormality in the triple screen test. My wife has AB negative blood type. The hospital here cannot perform amniocentesis, so we need to go to a larger hospital for it. Is it said that the risk of blood transfusion is higher when giving birth to the second child with AB negative blood type?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, your wife has the rare "Panda Blood" type, and the risk of hemolysis is slightly higher than with the first pregnancy. It is recommended to consult a hospital again.
