Is it true that people with different blood types have trouble having children or is that hogwash

call it what you wanna

It can be true for those who r Rh negative. The Rh is the label for ur blood type (IE; o positive, a negative). If the mother is negative & the child she is carrying is positive it will cause problems. The Rh factor comes from the father, so be sure to check this out. The problem does not typically occur with the first pregnancy. It is only after the body has developed an immune response to the first child that is Rh positive that causes the second one will be seen as a threat by the immune system. But if BOTH parents r Rh negative, there will never be a problem. There is a shot that u need to be sure to get if u give birth, have an abortion or miscarry. This will keep u from creating the antibodies that fight the next pregnancy. If u r Rh negative, be very aware of ur cycles & if u suspect a miscarriage, GO TO THE DR & get the shot. Many Rh negative women can no longer carry a Rh positive child to full term because their body rejects the fetus - for just this reason. Good Luck & stay informed.

I have heard of this happening..It has something to do with the RH factor.My whole family has ''O'' negative blood. We were told, that we may have trouble if we married someone with ''Positive'' blood. The first birth would be okay, but the second pregnacy may involve the baby having a complete blood transfusion.My Ex husband was/is ''A Positive''..We had one child & eveything was okay..My son is now 35 years old & I never had anymore children, so I can not say for sure, since I did not experience this myself.I do know that because of my RH factor, I have to have shots given to me before any surgery procedures r to take place.

The trouble is not in the blood type, it is the RH factor of the blood that is sometimes not compatible. Ex: a RH negitive mom and a RH positive baby or vise versa. In these types of cases, There is a shot called Rogam (sp?) given to the mother during pregnancy that will help the mother be compatible with the baby is blood.

It is complete hogwash. The only problem that could possibly arise is when the Rh factors are different. If the mother is Rh - and the father is Rh + then the mother has to receive an injection to make sure her body does not fight off the baby because his/her Rh factor is different.

There can be difficulties with different blood types. I am AB positive, hubby is B negative. The problem comes in if the baby is negative while the mother is positive, or vice versa. Even then it may not pose any difficulties. Your doctor should monitor things closely.

It is not blood type that can be problematic. It is RH factor -- the + or - of the blood. But with modern medicine, this can be overcome.

hogwash
why do you think there are so many children of parents that have different bloodtypes if anything it is to be recomended
ask any breeder of animals

This is true. Certian blood types do not mix without problems.
check with your internal medical doc or obgny.

it is not true. i'm type O and my husband is AB. we've had two children in three years.

I've NEVER heard that before in my life. Blood type has nothing to do with viability of sperm & egg.

i dont know. my wife and I are both A pos and so is our baby.
