Blood types

[Bloom]

I was just wondering if you knew your kids' blood types?

I don't know any of mine (though they have all had the heel ***** test and another blood test for thryoid done at 5 days). No other blood tests though. DD was in the NICU for 8 hours following birth, so I guess they might have done something there but I wasn't told.

When and why did you find out your kids blood types?

[2CheekyMonkeys]

They wrote my kids blood type in the little state government book they give you when baby is born. I think it was from heel ***** test.

Mum knew all ours cause she had rhesus

DH and I both O+ so both our kids will be either O+ or O-

[~TT40~]

the heel ***** test aka newborn screen won't give you a blood type.
the only time it is routinly done is if mum is a negative blood group so they can check if bub is positive or not.

[Artechim]

I have no idea what any of mine are.

I know what DD1's is but not the other two. Found out hers because she had significant gut issue after birth and it was part of the testing that was done.

[~Hestia~]

I don't know what our two are, they have never had a blood test.

I wouldn't have a clue what my boys are and I can't remember my own, maybe A+, I know I'm not a negative!

[TeniBear]

Mine will all be A+ because DH and I share a blood type Nice and easy to remember

I never knew mine until I started donating blood, so I assume my parents didn't know either.

[jellybean88]

Tenibear with you A+ and hubby A+ your kids can be A+ A- O+ O-

[TeniBear]

Tenibear with you A+ and hubby A+ your kids can be A+ A- O+ O-

I didn't think they could be negative if both parents are positive? I'd actually forgotten to factor in O so I've been thinking wrong for quite a while - whoops!

[jellybean88]

Pos can be ++ or +-

[TeniBear]

Ah, of course. Ignore me then, I've no idea what blood type my kids are/will be I assume A+ but I could be wrong

[jellybean88]

Lol silly genetics

[No.5]

I was thinking about this the other day. All those bloods DD had, I should have asked to get it checked! My kids could be (almost) any blood group. DH is B+ (he thinks) and I'm AB+

[Jellyfish]

Both mine are O-, same as me. Found out because of the rhesus negative business.

Just make sure you tell your kids the correct blood type if they ask-my mother has always told me I was A+ so I have spent years quoting my blood type as A+. When I got my bloods done at the start of this pg they tested for blood type and I found out that I am actually O+ not A!
