Question:
Hello Doctor ,

I recently got married and after marriage I came to know that my wife's blood group is B Negative and mine is O + , will there be any issue in having baby in future . will there be any major issue , do I have to consult doctor before planning for the baby or start some kind of medication


She is just normal its just only her blood group which is matter of worry for me and one more thing as her age is 29 years should we plan for the baby asap , or we time for another 1 or two year

Brief Answer:
No problem in pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health concerns and appreciate your efforts to have complete knowledge about your health status.
There is no problem in conception due to negative blood group especially in first pregnancy but take care of getting her immunised immediately after delivery within 72 hours of birth.
Also take care of regular antenatal checkups throughout pregnancy.
At the age 29 she should start thinking of pregnancy as early as possible and don't try to avoid it for the sake of having some couple time immediately after marriage (understandably normal for a couple but in your case sooner the better).
Wish you all the best.
Regards
Dr Manisha
