Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.
Being of the same blood group is not a problem. If a O group mother has some other blood group baby then there is chance of neonatal jaundice. Or if a rh negative mother has a positive baby then such scenario can occur. Being of the same blood group is of no problem. Marriage between close relatives increases the chances of some congenital problems.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
