My blood group is negative and my husbands is positive. Someone in the family mentioned it can cause issues and now im confused. Trying to understand if his blood type really matters here.
It matters mainly for the Rh factor, my doctor explained. If the mother is Rh negative and father is positive, they monitor and may give an injection. Thats why they ask both blood groups, but its all manageable with proper care.
I only learned about the Rh thing during my own pregnancy tests. The doctor handled it calmly and it was fine. If your groups dont match on Rh, your gynac will guide the next steps.
The main thing is the Rh factor compatibility, not the exact blood group as such. I was Rh negative and got the anti D injection as advised. Your gynac checks this in early tests, so dont worry, its routine.
