Blood type?

popps12 · Apr 6th, 2012, 08:25 AM

Hey girls, I was just curious to know, do you find out your babies blood type at birth automatically, or do you have to ask, was just wondering because my mum never knew mine and neither did OH's mum

i dont think you can find out, dont quote me on that though, i only found mine out when pregnant with dd and i dont know what hers is. all i know is they tend to say u have the same as your dad, which in my case is true.

Unless you ask you won't find out.
I know my three all have reh pos blood as I am neg and always need the anti D.

There is no need to really know as doctors in an emergency situation would always test for compatibility.

As you said u have the same as your dad. Haha i do too

im A+ my mum never knew what i was until i got my 8week pregnant full blood test last week.
OH doesnt know what he is so i wonder if bubs will have my rare A+ or OH type blood?

If you were like O- they would have to check LOs blood when they are born or something so that your blood and their blood doesnt mix or sothing cos a + & - make a + im pretty sure..?

Hm makes me wonder about that now... Haha.

No they dont automatically tell you anymore, I dont think they evan test for babies blood type as soon as they are born unless you have rhesus neg blood and your partner doesnt.

I only found out what my sons blood type is as i am rhesus o neg so they had to test to see if i needed the afterbirth shot.
