Q: I am a 26-year-old woman with A-negative blood group. Will my blood group cause problems in future?

A:If an Rh-negative woman marries an Rh-positive man, there are chances that the baby may be Rh-positive. In that case, the mother is given anti-D injection during the ante-natal period to prevent the chances of iso-immunisation, i.e. producing antibodies that can harm the baby.
