How many of you know your blood type?

[ACooper]

Just curious to know

I never knew my own blood type till I donated blood at the red cross, LOL

I am an average, boring O positive if anyone cares to know

 

[PWCorgi]

I'm an O positive too!

But there is NOTHING boring about that, cause anybody who has a positive blood type can use our bloodz (at least that's what the red cross ladies tell me )

 

[Charliesmommy]

O+ here too!

 

[Aussie Red]

mine is o neg.

 

[Charliesmommy]

HA! Coop! I just noticed the title under your user name!

 

[savethebulliedbreeds]

I don't have a clue what mine is

 

[Maxy24]

I *think* mom said I was A+, she said that was what both er and dad was so that we all (me and my bothers) are A+ too.

 

[ACooper]

HA! Coop! I just noticed the title under your user name!

Heheheheh


And Savethebullies........don't feel too bad about it, I gave birth to two children, and went through a major surgery and STILL never thought to ask my blood type! LOL

 

[bnwalker2]

I haven't got a clue! That's probably something I should know.

 

[Puckstop31]

A + for me...

A + for Tanya...

So "peanut" will be A + too. Right? LOL

 

[Renee750il]

All I know is Red - and I was told I have the Rh negative factor.

 

[GipsyQueen]

Pretty sure my mum said I was B+ because I had to get my blood tested when I was little.

 

[Oski]

mine is o neg.

Mine is O neg too.....we will have to help each other out if either of us needs blood cuz anyone can take our blood but we can only except O neg and its kind of rare too.

 

[squirtsmom]

O-. That is i t.

 

[Denaluvscorgis]

I'm O negative

 

[Renee750il]

Yeah, Dena . . . you of ALL of us had better know your blood type!

 

[jess2416]

I think Im A-

 

[Baxter'smybaby]

A + for me...

A + for Tanya...

So "peanut" will be A + too. Right? LOL

yep, peanut will be A+


I am A+--have known that all my life! I had to be transfused as an infant since my mom was A-(and that is incompatible-with babies blood developing properly). My mom was told after she had her first child--she shouldn't have any more due to the rh factor---well, I am number 4 of 6!! By number 6, they had developed a way to deal with rh factor--so not the same issue anymore!

 

[~Jessie~]

I think I'm O- .

 

[Doberluv]

More people than not have the RH factor and more people are O. I happen to be A- and my husband was B- so the kids are AB-. If my husband would have had the RH factor, I would have had to had the gamaglobulin shot after the first baby. When the first baby is born, if you do not have the RH factor, but the father does, your antibodies haven't had a chance to build up and "realize" that something foreign is inside, so nothing happens. But after the first child, when the placenta breaks, they kick in and respond and build so that when the next child is inside, the antibodies attack and cause something called erythroblastosis fetalis. It's HORRIBLE. So, they give this shot to tell the immune system to chill out, that it doesn't need to over react. (a symplistic explanation)

So, it is important to know your blood type if you're pregnant the second time, which, if under a doctor's care, they would always do.
