[claireking]

me and my new husband have had to miscarraiges............is this because he is o neg and i am a pos....................do these blood groups not mix???

maybe this is the anwser to my miscarragies!!

Yes - my mam is o recess negative and my dad was a positive - hence - the negative and positive will not mix - its definitly worth looking into, as i said, a simple injection can solve this problem - its called anti D.

Surely your GP or Nurse would be able to assist you on this one. Good luck in the future.

If it were the other way round and you were rhesus negative then there is a SLIGHT possibility that your antibodies could attack the baby but I don't think there is any danger or possiblity of harm this way round. I could be wrong but I don't think so. I am Rhesus negative and both my partners were positive. I didn't have any problems as my youngest was negative like me, and the son that was positive was fine. The pregnancies were all monitored and I had an anti D injection after. I'm really sorry that you've had 2 miscarriage, hopefully your next pregnancy will be successful. Have you spoken to your doctor about this? They will be able to help you and set your mind at rest much more than we could.

Dirtyharriet is right,Rhesus factors are only a problem when the Mum is negative and the father positive.Even then,if there are any complications(and thats v rare now)they will tend to set in much later in the pregnancy.Its not likely to be the reason,though your doctor will probably do other tests to investigate further.

It is true that neg and pos don't mix, but thats only in blood types. Maybe its how hard your working or it's the stress lately. Don't stress on this go to your doctor and ask what the reason is.

After having my miscarriage ealier in the year I found I'm O Resus Negative which caused many complications. After finding my partner is O positive I asked the same question but was assured this is not the case........

I'm now pregnant again and hoping all goes well.

Good luck, you'll get there
