Blood type doesn't matter when it comes to pregnancy - what does matter is rh factor. If husband/wife have the same rh factor (both positive, or both negative), then everything is ok. Additionally, if wife is rh positive and hubby is rh negative everything is also ok. It's only when a woman is rh neg. And her partner is rh positive that problems can arise (in pregnancies after the first). It can, however, be easily resolved with a simple shot as long as the doctors are aware. The only way blood type affects anything is if the mother has a negative type and the fetus has a positive blood type. It won't hurt the first pregnancy, but if the mother gets pregnant again with a baby with positive blood type, her body will fight it because it sees the + part of the blood as foreign. So, to counteract that, women usually get the rh factor shots - it helps with the next pregnancy.
