People with type AB Rh D+ blood are universal recipients: they can receive any type of blood without harm to them. People with type A Rh D+ blood can receive most types of blood, as long as the blood doesn’t have B in it. On the other hand, people with type O Rh D+ blood can only receive type O (negative or positive) blood; and individuals with type O Rh D- blood can only receive type O Rh D- blood. With this said, your baby is perfectly safe if your blood happens to get into its blood stream. The same cannot be said of your safety, however, if your fetus’ blood enters your blood circulation. But there isn’t a need to be alarmed: a mother and her fetus have two distinctly separate blood systems. The risks of you developing toxic reaction from your fetus’ A+ blood is extremely low since its blood will unlikely enter your blood system during the pregnancy term.
