It's not the blood group - but the Rh factor.If someone is Rh-negative, the red blood cells do not have a marker called Rh factor on them. Rh-positive blood does have this marker. If your blood mixes with Rh-positive blood, your immune system will react to the Rh factor by making antibodies to destroy it. This immune system response is called Rh sensitization.All pregnant women get a blood test or two during early pregnancy. This test will show if the mother is Rh-negative,If Rh negative the doctor will use Rh immune globulin (such as RhoGAM) tp prevent Rh sensitization.</blockquote>
