Hematologist-Oncologist Questions Blood

My husband is A positive and I am B negative, could this be an issue when conceiving?

I am a 28-year-old woman and trying to conceive. However I just read recently that a positive and negative blood group combination in parents could be a threat to the baby. My husband is A+ and I am B-, could this become an issue in our baby?

The issue is that you are Rh negative and your husband is Rh positive. If the baby is positive, you could have a hemolytic reaction- so when pregnant you will receive injections of Rhogam to prevent this. It won't be an issue. There is no issue with conceiving.
