Is O positive blood the same as Rh positive blood?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I'm pregnant. The blood test report from the hospital says I'm type O blood and also Rh positive. What does this mean? Will it affect my health or the baby?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Hello, O-type blood and Rh-positive are two different blood type classifications. Most Chinese people are Rh-positive, and if you are Rh-negative, it is easy to develop neonatal hemolysis.
Advice: Your condition is normal and will not affect your health. There is no need to worry. However, if you have O-type blood and the baby is either B-type or A-type blood, neonatal hemolysis may occur. It is important to undergo prenatal examinations and actively manage the situation if this arises.
