I am O+! There seem to be alot of us here :-). I knew before I was pg because I read it on my birth certificate when I was younger. I'm a dork, so I remembered that fact. lol

I'm A+ and it drives me nuts that at 28YO Hubby doesn't know his. He says, I've been told...I just don't remember. Ugh...men! I said, what happens if you were in a serious accident and they needed to give you blood! You couldn't tell them and neither could I. He just shrugged. They could test it. I'd be in the hospital. Time my friend...time you might not have... Does anyone else think like this or am I a nut?
What is this shot? I'm RH- and I know that conceiving with a man who is RH+ can be potentially harmful to my baby (DH IS NOT). Should I calling my OB and telling them I'm RH-?
I'm AB- and, luckily, my husband is O-. We are having him tested again to be sure since he had to ask his parents since he couldn't remember. We won't need the shot, in this case.
I knew my blood type, as I had open heart surgery years ago and had transfusions.
I am B+ so don't have to do Rhogam. If you have a neg blood type and are really against the shots, find out if the baby's father is negative too. If he is then you don't need the shot because the risk is your negative antibodies attacking the positive antibodies in the baby.

They should do blood work, but I'd mention something to them just to be safe.

I'm A-. The rhogam shot was terrible. I couldn't lift my arm for 3 days after because it made my muscles so sore!
I got mine in the butt...pain free
Same here. A shot in my butt/hip area, and it didn't hurt at all. I'm O-, hubby's B+, and dd is O+. I got the shot after amnio and after delivery.
If you're Rh- and worried, don't worry. Any OB or midwife will type your blood, and you won't need the shot for a long time unless you have an accident or severe bleeding. Don't sweat it--this is like gynecology 101. :-)
Re: What's your blood type?
I'm A+
My birth mother is O- I think...but my dad is A+
O+, didn't know until i was pg.
Dont need the RH shot.
I dunno~
It's either A or AB...
A+
I found out my first pregnancy when they did blood work.

O+ here, I see there are quite a few of us!
my mom is O- and I remember her complaining about the shots when she was pregnant with my sister. I'm guessing not fun, glad I don't need them!
