Be glad you’re not O neg. They can only get blood from other O negatives. He’s O- and allergic to penicillin. Every time we leave the country, I’m convinced he’s a goner.


Why not have his own blood stored in a blood bank facility?



I'm allergic to penicillin too, I cannot fathom the thought of something inevitable happening and my blood being mixed the wrong blood type.

He doesn’t seem concerned, but it’s always in the back of my mind. He’s donated so much over the years. It scares me to think of all the people he’s helped, but might not have that same help for himself.

But what can I say? I’m just a worrier like that.

I'm O+ too

My ex and kids are all AB- which is less common. Our types didn't mix and both boys had to go under the bilirubin lights for a couple days after birth.


Yeah, O+ parent can't have AB kids. Must be Ai or Bi with AB father.

Are Bilirubin lights not to do with jaundice more than actual bloody type lol. Or have I really missed the plot with this one

Not sure how from O+ blood type alone you drove to jaundice disease.

Thats intresting. I had no idea blood type affected it. My boys when born had it. I assumed it was because they were slightly prem. 34.5 weeks gestation. Wonder if their blood type is different to mine. I think and huge think their father is O... so maybe?
