Two parents with A blood type can produce a child with either A or O blood types. Two parents with B blood type can produce a child with either B or O blood type. One parent with A and another with B can produce a child with A, B, AB or O blood types.
The possible blood types for our children were A (75% chance) and O (25%). A- or O- is possible with two A+ parents, but only if each parent carries the Rh negative factor, which is recessive, and the child gets the negative factor from them both.
If both parents are Rh-positive, then there's a 93.75% chance for an Rh+ and a 6.75% chance for an Rh- blood type. If both parents are Rh-negative, then there's a 100% chance for an Rh- blood type.
Rh incompatibility occurs when the mother's blood type is Rh negative and her fetus' blood type is Rh positive. Antibodies from an Rh negative mother may enter the blood stream of her unborn Rh positive infant, damaging the red blood cells (RBCs).
Each person has two Rh factors in their genetics, one from each parent. The only way for someone to have a negative blood type is for both parents to have at least one negative factor. For example, if someone's Rh factors are both positive, it is not possible for his or her child to have a negative blood type.
When a mother-to-be and father-to-be are not both positive or negative for Rh factor, it's called Rh incompatibility. For example: If a woman who is Rh negative and a man who is Rh positive conceive a baby, the fetus may have Rh-positive blood, inherited from the father.
Two parents with A blood type can produce a child with either A or O blood types. Two parents with B blood type can produce a child with either B or O blood type. One parent with A and another with B can produce a child with A, B, AB or O blood types.
Rh incompatibility occurs when a mother has Rh-negative blood and the baby has Rh-positive blood. The mother's body will produce an auto-immune response that attacks the fetus or newborn's blood cells as if they were a bacterial or viral invader.
Those with blood type O may struggle to conceive due to a lower egg count and poorer egg quality, while those with blood group A seem to be more fertile.
Rh Incompatibility in Pregnancy
Problems can occur when the mother is Rh- and the baby is Rh+. This mismatch in blood type is often referred to as Rh incompatibility. This mismatch doesn't cause any problems for the first pregnancy.
A baby may have the blood type and Rh factor of either parent, or a combination of both parents. Rh factors follow a common pattern of genetic inheritance. The Rh-positive gene is dominant (stronger) and even when paired with an Rh-negative gene, the positive gene takes over.
1 in 3 people are A positive, which is why it is one of the most common blood types. As you can imagine A positive blood is in high demand, because it is presence in a large percentage of the population.

Quick Facts
32% of the United States population is A+, making it one of the most-transfused blood types. Type A+ is in high demand to treat cancer patients and premature babies. In an emergency, doctors depend on type A and AB plasma for trauma patients and accident victims.
Rh factor: Miscarriage can be caused because of the incompatibility of the mother's blood and the blood of the unborn foetus commonly known as Rh factor incompatibility. This type of miscarriage occur when the blood type of mother is Rh negative, and the foetus blood type is Rh positive.
Type O is the most common blood type. Couples who are both type Os will have children who are blood type O. Parents who are both type As can have children with blood type O.
What's the rarest blood type? AB negative is the rarest of the eight main blood types - just 1% of our donors have it. Despite being rare, demand for AB negative blood is low and we don't struggle to find donors with AB negative blood. However, some blood types are both rare and in demand.
Usually, we don't have to worry about blood type when deciding to have a child. However, there are some exceptions. In particular, an Rh negative mother can sometimes have pregnancy complications - though doctors have an easy way to fix this issue!
In cases of questioned paternity, ABO blood-typing can be used to exclude a man from being a child's father. For example, a man who has type AB blood could not father a child with type O blood, because he would pass on either the A or the B allele to all of his offspring.
Sometimes an incompatibility may happen when the mother is blood type O and the baby is either A or B. This can affect the newborn baby, who may need treatment after birth.
The only possible offspring of two A-positive people can be A-positive, A-negative, O-positive, or O-negative. Hope this helps.
The male has two O alleles of the ABO gene, and a positive allele and a negative allele of the RH gene. In this case, the female happened to pass an A and a negative, and the male an O and a positive. So you are “AO +/-” genetically, meaning you have an A+ blood type.
O positive red blood cells are not universally compatible to all types, but they are compatible to any red blood cells that are positive (A+, B+, O+, AB+).
