What is the problem when b positive blood group women marry a o men?
Erythroblastosis fetalis can cause severe anemia, jaundice, brain damage, and even death in the fetus or newborn. The risk of erythroblastosis fetalis increases with each subsequent pregnancy, as the mother's immune response to the Rh-positive blood cells becomes stronger.
To prevent erythroblastosis fetalis, Rh-negative women who are pregnant with an Rh-positive fetus can receive a medication called RhoGAM (Rh immune globulin). RhoGAM is an antibody that binds to and destroys any Rh-positive red blood cells that may have entered the mother's circulation, preventing the development of antibodies against Rh-positive blood.
