I think it's coz other needles have punctured your skin and perhaps "contaminated" your blood or something. Hospitals are super strict about blood donations here (and I assume everywhere else)--LOTS of conditions have to be met and extensive testing. I remember one time my brother was rejected because his white blood cells were slightly above normal so doctors were predicting he was on his way to being sick. :blink:
 
I believe I am O-....that's the universal donor right? I have no clue about my DH or either of my girls though.
 
I'm A-. I had the rhogam shots with each of my babies, but, for the last three kiddos, I did double shots. I had to get mine earlier and then one at the regular time and of course, afterwards since my kids are +.

I had to double up because my body was apparently already fighting them off.
 
Come on now. There's gotta be another freakazoid around here with AB- :blink:
Hubbster, my daughter, and my mother are all A-. My dad and I are AB-
 
I am O+ which is the Universal Receiver (O- is the Universal Donor! dang it!! I wanted to be totally awesome! I am on half awesome!!!!!)

DH is A+
three kids are A+
and one kid is A- (which I don't get!!! How did he get to be a -???) I kept asking them to retest it and they won't with out a serious need for it. I think that is bunk cause what if something happens and they start pumping him with the wrong blood. Scares the heck out of me!!!!
 
I haven't got a clue. I know Mason was blood-typed at one point but we didn't really pay attention, lol (he had to wear a bracelet with his blood type on it for a week or so).
 
They type every new born baby here. I am not sure if they do every where. I always ask after the baby is born and they come back from getting cleaned up and stuff. They have usually done the test by then. It has always just been interesting to me.

Here is a good explanation of the Rh factor!!!

http://www.biology.arizona.edu/Human_Bio/problem_sets/blood_types/rh_factor.html

The Rh factor genetic information is also inherited from our parents, but it is inherited independently of the ABO blood type alleles. There are 2 different alleles for the Rh factor known as Rh+ and Rh-.
Someone who is "Rh positive" or "Rh+" has at least one Rh+ allele, but could have two. Their genotype could be either Rh+/Rh+ or Rh+/Rh-. Someone who Rh- has a genotype of Rh-/Rh-.
Just like the ABO alleles, each biological parent donates one of their two Rh alleles to their child.
A mother who is Rh- can only pass an Rh- allele to her son or daughter. A father who is Rh+ could pass either an Rh+ or Rh- allele to his son or daughter. This couple could have Rh+ children (Rh- from mother and Rh+ from father) or Rh- children (Rh- from mother and Rh- from father).
