Baby Unknown
Posted: 02-24-06 15:02pm

My brothers ex girl friend is pregnant it could either be his or her current boy friends. Her boyfriend's blood type is ab and my brother's blood type is o+. When the baby is born they are going to use the baby's cord to check the blood type. My question is...

If the baby is o+ does that mean the baby is tryely my brothers or can an ab person have an o+ baby?

'm sorry I forgot to say that the mother of the baby is o+
but her lpn told her that the baby always takes after the fathers blood type.

if the baby is o+ the mother is either o+ or the father is o+ or both of them are. My husband is o+ and I am o+, so our baby is o+. You need to know the mother's blood type. Ab is a rare blood type. So if she has a popular blood type (like o+) then the baby will have an 80% chance of being o+. My dad is ab- and my mom is o+. They had three children, all o+. You have to know what the mother's blood type is. Normally the baby will have the mother's blood type anyway.

i forgot to tell you. A person with any type of blood, whether it be o, ab, a, or b will always be that type. An o+ person will always be o+, an ab will always be ab. So there is no way an ab can have an o+ baby unless the mother is o+. One of the parents has to be o+ for the baby to be o+.

I would say a paternity test is going to tell you better who the father is than trying to guess from blood type.
