What can my child's blood types be?

Expert answer:

  • O with O = child can be ONLY of type O. It will never be A, B or AB.
  • O with A = child can be of types O and A, never B or AB.
  • A with A = child can be type O and A, never B or AB.
  • O with B = child can be type O and B, never A or AB.
  • B with B = child can be type O and B, never A or AB.
  • A with B = child can be of any blood group (O, A, B or AB).
  • The with AB = child can be A or B, never O or AB.
  • A with AB = child can be A, B or AB, never O.
  • B with AB = child can be A, B or AB, never O.
  • AB with AB = child can be A, B or AB, never O.
