What is a hemolytic pregnancy test?

Patient's question:

I've been having dizzy spells lately, and I can't seem to eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. The hospital said it's a blood-related issue. Could you please explain what a hemolysis test during pregnancy is?

Doctor's answer:

It is very necessary to have a thorough check-up for hemolysis at the hospital during pregnancy, especially for O-type blood pregnant women and mothers. If they carry an A-type or B-type child, this child may very likely experience hemolysis again, or it may even lead to fetal death in the womb. If lucky, the child can be born normally, but if hemolytic jaundice reoccurs, it is important to take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
