O+ or O- blood type

[newmommy9314]

Super new mommy to be and I've read somewhere I would need to take a shot in order for my body not to attack the baby like a virus. Any info I CAN use would be helpful.

I am O negative and also have had to get the rhogam shot with each of my pregnancies.  It's no big deal. Being a phlebotomist I deal a lot with blood types, and it does most definitely matter what your blood type is. If your negative and your baby is a positive than your body will attack the baby. The shot helps to prevent that from happening. As long as you get the shot at 28 weeks and again at delivery, you & baby should be fine

You mean Rh negative. This means your Blood doesn't contain the Rh protein. It has nothing,  absolutely nothing to do with your Blood type.*

Me and my fiance have the same blood type (O+) so most likely the baby should also have are blood type right?

My mom has o- and had to get some sort of shot everytime she was pregnant! That's all the info I have on it. But I suggest calling your doctor asap to get in and get the shot! :)

My baby doc told me since my blood type is A- that I might have to get a shot everyime I get pregnant. She said only if the baby I'm carrying now has a diff blood type then our blood will mix when I give birth and when I try to get pregnant again that my body will fight it off like a virus and I'll misscarry everytime, so I would have to get a shot
