Apperently there are more blood types then i knew about. I mean more then your normal A, B, AB, and O. Apperently you can have a blood type of RH. Really, come as a shock to you as well?
See i know all about being RH incompatable. It happens when you have a child, you have a negative blood type, and the child has a positive one. But I didnt know that you can actually HAVE a blood type of RH.
Pretty silly huh?
Some people just get to me. Even when presented with Facts they continue to foster their strange little imaginational ideas which just arent true. But hey… You cant change the worlds mind about anything.So this person is going to continue with her pregnancy. Hopefully when she goes into labor and tells the hospital, but my blood type is RH. Someone higher up will correct her. While doing a proper blood test screening.
You can visit the link above to read all about blood types, but i tell you, my head starts swimming after a while. But i did manage to read enough to confirm that the only blood types there are, is A, B, AB, and O with positives or negatives with them. But here is the exceprt about RH compatability.
The RhD antigen is also important in determining a person’s blood type. The terms “positive” or “negative” refer to either the presence or absence of the RhD antigen irrespective of the presence or absence of the other antigens of the Rhesus system. Anti-RhD is not usually a naturally occurring antibody as the Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies are. Cross-matching for the RhD antigen is extremely important, because the RhD antigen is immunogenic, meaning that a person who is RhD negative is very likely to make Anti-RhD when exposed to the RhD antigen (perhaps through either transfusion or pregnancy). Once an individual is sensitised to RhD antigens their blood will contain RhD IgG antibodies which can bind to RhD positive RBCs and may cross the placenta.
For the record. I am NOT RH imcompatable.
Just had to share the funny.
And by all means if im wrong. If i read the website WRONG please let me know. Because EVERY chart on there only had the normal blood types listed and refered to the RH as the positive or negative.
