Did you know that if the blood type of the expectant mother and the baby are incompatible, and the antibodies in the mother-to-be enter the baby's body through the placenta, it is possible to cause different blood types to "fight" in the baby's body, causing neonatal hemolytic disease? Among them, the most common blood group incompatibility is the ABO blood group system and the RH blood group system.

Relevant data show that at present, 30% of pregnancies in China have blood group incompatibility, and the incidence of neonatal hemolysis is 119%。How can neonatal hemolytic disease be prevented?What should fathers-to-be and mothers-to-be pay attention to?

Pre-pregnancy detection of ABO blood type for expectant father and mother-to-be, expectant father is type A, B or AB type, expectant mother is type O, it is necessary to pay attention to the risk of ABO hemolysis in the future, and the follow-up expectant mother needs to do "prenatal blood group serological testing" to detect the concentration of antibodies of various blood groups.

The Rh blood type of the expectant father and the expectant mother should be detected before pregnancy, the Rh blood type of the expectant father and the expectant mother is inconsistent, and the expectant mother has no precedent for blood transfusion, and there is no great risk for one child.
