Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
With your blood group O+ and your wife AB+ , your child can either be A+ or B+ . Your child cannot have either O+ or AB+. The blood groups are dependent on a pair of genes and not a single gene and a combination of two genes determines the blood group of baby.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
