Blood group and awareness of the unborn child

Whether there is a problem with the blood group of husband and wife, if there is a problem for a child?

Every time we have to question this kind of question. There is a misconception among common people that if the husband and wife's blood are of the same group then this couple will have problems with childbirth. Those who have misconceptions like this today, especially for their writers.

The blood group will be positive or negative depending on whether your blood has Rh antigen in red blood cells. Rh antigen is a type of protein that is present in the blood's blood cells. If you have Rh antigen, your blood group will be positive and if the blood group is negative then it is understandable that your Rhinitis does not have Rh antigen.

If the husband and wife's blood are in the same group then there is no problem to conceive. But if the husband's blood group is positive and the blood group of the wife is negative, sometimes there is a problem in pregnancy. Again, there is no problem in the pregnancy of the field, but there is a possibility of miscarriage after some time of pregnancy. That is why whenever a pregnant mother of negative blood group comes to us, we allow her husband's blood group to be positive or negative. The purpose is a healthy pregnancy. There will be no problem if both husband and wife are a negative group.


Positive husband and the first child of the negative wife, if there is a negative group then there is no problem at all. If the child is in danger, the first child gets a blood group of his father, ie if he is positive. This positive blood group is usually not a problem during pregnancy. However, the positive blood of the baby during the birth of the child is mixed with the blood of the negative mother, which is very pleasant during pregnancy, although this mixture of blood in 0.1% of cases can also occur during pregnancy. Mother's blood is a mixture of positive blood in the baby's blood, and the antibody of the mother's blood is created which risks the next pregnancy. If the child of the next pregnancy is again and in a positive group, then this antibody destroys the second baby. For this reason, in the 72 hours after birth, the first positive child will have to give a preventive injection mother named Rh Anti-D antibody. This preventive injection causes the child's body to destroy red blood cells and does not allow any type of antibody to be created. As a result, the next child is positive, but there is no problem.



However, if a preventive injection of Rh antibody is not given to the mother after the positive child delivery of negative mother, then the next positive child can be born with anemia, jaundice, and even a child may die. Children born with birth defects and jaundice must be admitted to ICU and the positive blood of the children is replaced by the negative group of the same group or completely replaced with negative blood, which is called exchange blood transfusion.

Truly man is the great creation of Allah ta ala Because of the negative control of the mother's own body of some negative group, children of several positive groups and some are born. We are not receiving them as members of the immunodeficiencies nonprofit group.
