Patient's question:
I am type O blood and my partner is type AB blood. We are afraid to have a baby. I heard from watching TV that if a type O blood woman gets pregnant, there is a certain chance of the baby developing ABO hemolytic disease. Now we really want to have a baby of our own. Here, I want to ask the doctor at the hospital, is the probability of ABO hemolytic disease in the baby high?Doctor's answer:
The situation is not scientific. Hemolysis is checked at another level. It is not blood type that determines whether hemolysis occurs or not. So there is no need to worry about anything. Just let nature take its course and conceive a child.Suggestions:
- Eat more nutrient-rich, easily digestible foods.
- Consume plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
- If you plan to conceive, both partners should actively undergo pre-natal genetic testing.
- It is recommended to visit a good hospital for consultation.
