Complications arise in pregnancy when the mother is Rh negative and her partner is Rh positive. If he is Rh negative there will be no complications from Rh incompatibility (hemolytic disease).
While the mother's and baby's blood systems are separate there are times when the blood from the baby can enter into the mother's system. If the baby is Rh positive the mother will react by making antibodies to the Rh factor, when this happens the mother is said to be sensitized. Once the mother is sensitized she will always have antibodies, these antibodies will then attack an Rh positive baby's blood, causing it to break down the red blood cells and anemia will develop. In severe cases the baby may need a blood transfusion at birth to replace the damaged cells.
The best treatment for hemolytic disease is prevention, your doctor will most likely order an injection of Rh immunoglobulin (RhIg), to be given at around 28 weeks.
Once the baby is born a blood test will determine if he is Rh positive or negative. If the baby is Rh negative nothing further is needed, if he is Rh positive you will be given another injection of RhIg to protect any future pregnancies. Each pregnancy and delivery of an Rh positive baby will require repeat doses of RhIg.
You should also receive RhIg following a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or induced abortion to prevent any chance of developing antibodies.
We are looking for the possible blood types of a baby.
Parental information:
Generally the baby must be Type B pos/neg or Type O pos/neg
HOWEVER: There is more to ABO blood typing that just the ABO gene.
There is also an inhibitory gene that will change any genotype into the phenotype O.
Therefore a person with genetically AB blood can be tested as having Type O.
then the Type AB baby is definitely possible.
Yes, there is a chance that if the father is type positive, and the baby is type positive, the mother's antibodies can attack the baby. Make sure your doctor knows and checks on the pregnancy regularly.
It is impossible for a woman with B negative blood to conceive a child with an A negative father.
It could be possible to have pregnancy complications, complications during birth, or have an unhealthy baby. Your chances for having a c-section would go up and well as the chances off all medical interventions going up. You should seek the advice and care of a Dr if you feel that your health is effecting your pregnancy.

A woman with type O negative blood can marry someone of any blood type. An Rh negative woman will get an injection during each pregnancy to lower the risk of complications in future pregnancies.

Can Women Get Pregnant During Menstruation?
If you have experienced complications during a previous pregnancy, it's important to note that the likelihood of experiencing complications again in a subsequent pregnancy can vary depending on various factors. Here are some factors that may influence the chances of having complications again: Type of Complication: The specific complication experienced in the previous pregnancy plays a significant role. Some complications, such as gestational diabetes or preeclampsia, may have a higher chance of recurring in subsequent pregnancies. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider, as they can provide personalized information based on your medical history. Underlying Health Conditions: Certain pre-existing health conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or autoimmune disorders, can increase the risk of complications in pregnancy. If you have any of these conditions, it's important to work closely with your healthcare provider to manage them effectively before and during pregnancy. Maternal Age: Advanced maternal age (usually defined as 35 years or older) can be associated with a higher risk of certain complications, such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and chromosomal abnormalities. However, it's important to remember that many women over the age of 35 have healthy pregnancies without complications. Lifestyle Factors: Certain lifestyle factors can influence the risk of complications in pregnancy. These include smoking, substance abuse, obesity, poor nutrition, and inadequate prenatal care. Addressing these factors and adopting a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the chances of complications in subsequent pregnancies. Genetic Factors: In some cases, there may be genetic factors that contribute to pregnancy complications. If you have a family history of specific conditions, such as blood clotting disorders or certain genetic abnormalities, it's important to discuss these risks with your healthcare provider. Medical Interventions: If you required medical interventions or treatments during your previous pregnancy, such as a cesarean section or medication, they may influence the risk of complications in subsequent pregnancies. Your healthcare provider can assess the impact of these interventions on future pregnancies. It's essential to have regular prenatal care and consult with your healthcare provider if you have a history of complications in previous pregnancies. They can provide personalized guidance based on your specific situation, monitor your health closely, and take appropriate measures to minimize the risks and maximize the chances of a healthy pregnancy.
Delivery complications with rH factors can be prevented fairly easily. If the mother is rH negative than she will receive a rhogam shot during pregnancy and shortly after the birth. This prevents her body from rejecting the blood of the infant in the situation where they have opposing rH factors.
Your doctor will test you for this, and without the test, yes it can cause complications.
You can certainly ask. However, pregnancy itself is often not enough to warrant a medical leave. If there are complications during pregnancy, then it may be possible.

The possibilities are endless.
No, blood can't change type during pregnancy.
