Do you know your blood type?

Recommended Posts

A negative, plus I'm CMV/CNV? negative, so I know when eight weeks go by because the Red Cross calls me like clockwork.

It only applies to rh neg mother with possible rh pos child.

"Rh Negative" just means your blood doesn't have the Rh factor. So, if it encounters blood with the Rh factor, it thinks it's foreign and attacks it. If you're Rh positive, it knows the Rh factor is ok, and doesn't really notice if it's missing.
it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Most of us who were in the service know our blood type since it was on our dog taqs which we saw frequently! ;)

I'm O+ Universal donor so if anyone needs any....



O+ is only universal for all types of "+" patients no good for "-" types.
O- is for every type + or - Truly universal!:P

unfortunately i know of two cases in 5 years where the dog tags and medical records were incorrect... fortunately both were caught during admin review, and CRCs...instead of in an emergency situation that could have been very nasty...[:/]

A- used to be a regular pin cushion.. my 'travel' destinations have pretty much to an end to that... :P

Google "RH incompatibility."



I'm really surprised so many women arent' aware of this. Not sure where i learned about it, but i've known about it forever it seems.

As for my blood type, it's green squared.
