B- Blood type and pregnant

[jtaber]

My daughter is blood type B- and is 7 weeks pregnant. Is this dangerous for her our her unborn baby?

well from what i have heard if the baby is the same blood type as her then it is okay but most who are negative blood types need to have some kindof needle..in order to help them carry the baby:S maybe someone can help you more

As long as she gets the Rhogam (spelling) shot before she delivers, she should be okay.

i agree with cheyenne_08 she needs to get the rhogam shot. my mother has o- and she had to get it with every one of us.(3girls) i believe it has something like rh- if that sounds right?? hope it helps.

Your daughter does not have to have rhogam if the baby's father is also a negative blood type (doesn't matter which, so long as it is negative). RH Factor is when the mom's antibodies attack the baby as "foreign" in her body. But if the baby is also of negative blood type, baby will be fine!

Rhogam isn't given until the 2nd trimester.

My doc never even asked about the father. Once he knew I was negative, he gave me the shot.

Yeah, most of the time docs don't ask about the father because some girls have like ten guys who *could* be the father. But unless you know 100% that your hubby/partner is the daddy, def. let the doc know and they will take that into consideration!!! So Cheyenne, if you get preggo again and your partner is also negative, you don't have to have the shot. I did some research on this a while ago because a woman had a similar question! I can find you some resources if you'd like!
