Blood type changed during pregnancy

[Anonymous]

This happened to my father. He was always O blood but recently a new primary care physician insisted he was A+

[Anonymous]

I don’t have any proof that my blood type changed, but some of my medical records say I’m AB+ and others say I’m A+. It drives me crazy because I want to know.

I really need to become a blood donor so that I can find out for sure...

Go to an actual doctor, not Amazon.

The test from Amazon is the same type of test that they use in labs to determine a patient’s blood type BTW. It’s similar to hospitals and doctor’s offices often using cheap pregnancy tests to determine if a patient is pregnant.

Assuming you get what you think you ordered and not some fake knock off.

It’s always a good idea to look at the reviews before purchasing anything online. I received the actual blood type test as shown, and it was accurate for me. As long as someone follows the instructions correctly, it should be accurate for them too. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that do not follow directions.

Who trusts online reviews? The bots and sponsors are out of the control.

Just talk to your doctor.

Even after verifying your blood type, there is always a type-and-cross-match process to make sure the blood is safe to give before transfusing. The only exception would be a true emergency and using universal donor blood (O-).

Crossmatching

This is a way for your doctor to test your blood against a donor's blood to make sure they are fully compatible. It's essentially a trial transfusion done in test tubes to see exactly how your blood will react with potential donor blood.

Why do any pregnancy care then? Why do ultrasounds? If things don't work out and the baby or mom does it's just meant to be, right?

Because we have science. Again, your whataboutism doesn’t work here.

Your blood type doesn’t randomly change. It is genetic. It stays the same throughout your life like your eye color.

Well your eye color definitely changes throughout life and not just from cataracts. Babies often have blueish or violet eye colors that turn hazel. And hazel eyed people’s eye colors change with their mood - if normally brownish they turn amber or green when they get mad or if normally green they turn blue when they get upset.

They can change from a lighter color to a darker color in infants and toddlers because babies do not produce much melanin when they’re first born. That’s why a lot of babies are born with blue eyes that later turn brown (for example). In those babies, it’s not really changing though because their eyes were always going to be brown based on their genetics. Brown is always their actual eye color that their genetics coded for. Once you have your final eye color, it does not truly change (unless you have some sort of medical condition). It’s simply an optical illusion.

This. And the color of babies with “blue” eyes that turns brown is not actually blue. My MIL and DH wishfully insisted that DC was going to have blue eyes, but to me it was obvious his eyes were just a washed-out brown that would turn browner, not actually blue.

Yes, the same science I commented several times that allows you to overcome the genetic incompatibility with your spouse. That science. Are you going to read now?

So now you are ok with different blood types having kids together? Glad you've come around to common sense. Hopefully you've learned to think before posting.

My nephew had absolutely amazing eyes mid transition. Green and brown dappled.

Nope, I commented in response to the PP talking about the I shot and have said from the beginning of my posting that genetically people were not compatible to reproduce. Science has made that possible.

Again you’re so rageful about yourself that you can’t read clearly.

I don’t know why you can’t seem to understand that I’m not against people receiving the shot for Rh incompatibility once a child that is at risk has already been created. I’m not against modern medicine. I simply believe that Rh positive and Rh negative people are not meant to have children together.

What is the meaning of “meant”? What entity is decreeing this?
