Wow, a whole two of us! LolOctavia|1343420572|3241527 said:Diamond*Dana|1343275950|3240299 said:
Yay, I've never "met" anyone else with my blood type (not that I go around asking most people, haha!). Weird thing is, the hospital put B- on all my birth paperwork so that's what I grew up thinking, but when I was in HS I was blood-typed and found to be AB-. I insisted it was a mistake and they ran the test twice more with the same result! If my brother and I hadn't looked exactly alike as kids, I would wonder if I was switched at birth...
ETA I wish I could donate but I spent too much time in England around the time of the mad cow disease scare, so I'm not allowed

I'm 0+, my husband is AB+ so I know my daughter is positive too (I think she was AB, but not sure), but still she developed jaundice after birth due to her body rejecting my blood. It was much milder than if it was an rh incompatibility but still it meant we were in the hospital a few extra days.
I guess I should have been paying more attention!
