l read somewhere that people getting married would get a blood test done before the wedding, something to do with their future children. l do not know if this still goes on. But what was the reason for doing so?
My mother is O pos and my father was B pos. l have B pos and my sister has O neg. We still do not know where the neg came from exactly. My husband does not know what his type is so we do not know our son is type either. l only know mine as l donate blood and found out that way.
When my sister-in-law was pregnant with her son she had to have the shots because she has negative rh and her son has pos rh, this time she has not had to have the shots, l can not remember in which trimester she started with them last time.
l had only heard of the blood tests before marriage and l assumed they were only being done in the US as l had never heard of it happening around here in Ontario. l just never knew what the blood tests were for and how they worked. l do understand blood donation stuff as l started donating as soon as l turned 18. So no l was not confused by it. But thank you for explaining it.
My grandmother is o pos turned o neg after she had her children, none of us understand that one yet. My grandfather was A l believe but l do not know the rh factor. Really my son could be any type just from that l guess. My husband can not donate because of a medication he has to take so we do not know his type and we have no reason to find out Gabe is yet, that is until goddess forbid he ever needs a transfusion.
