Many parents have heard of hemolytic disease of the newborn, and we usually believe that the occurrence of hemolytic disease of the newborn is caused by the genetic problem of blood type between the father and mother. Therefore, many parents will check each other's blood when preparing for pregnancy. So, are O-type and AB type suitable?
1. If the pregnant woman is of type O and the man is of type AB, the child may experience ABO blood type incompatibility and even hemolytic disease of the newborn. Because under the combination of O and AB types, children may have blood types of A or B. And the blood type of the child is different from that of the mother. When the antibodies reach a certain level, a rejection reaction will occur, naturally resulting in ABO blood type incompatibility in newborns.
2. Basically, the probability of ABO blood type incompatibility occurring after most blood types combine is very low, but small probability events can also occur. So, it is particularly necessary for parents to undergo health checks during pregnancy preparation. If blood tests are needed, remember to go to the hospital on an empty stomach that morning.
Pre marital checkups are very popular nowadays, and they are actually preparations for each other's health and the birth of a baby in the future, not out of suspicion towards each other. If you have time, it is still advisable to go for a pre marital physical examination for each other.
