What is the probability of women with type O blood and men with type A blood developing hemolytic anemia?

Patient's question:

Description of the condition: What is the likelihood of hemolytic disease in a child with a mother who has Type O blood and a father who has Type A blood? The father's employer has someone who, with a mother of Type O blood and a father of Type A blood, had two stillbirths and one miscarriage during two pregnancies. Therefore, his parents believe that our child is at risk of developing hemolytic disease and may result in stillbirth. Is there any basis for this?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, couples with A-type and O-type blood can have children with A-type or O-type blood. If the woman is O-type, if the child born is O-type, there will be no hemolysis. If the child born is A-type, there may be a possibility of neonatal hemolysis. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's life but also leads to the occurrence of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a B-ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of the hospital, identify the cause after the examination, and then treat accordingly. In daily life, you should pay attention to drinking more water and maintaining personal hygiene.
