Does Different Blood Group Of Couple Cause Complications During Pregnancy?
Question: Dear Doctor, I am planning to start a family. My Blood is B- and my husbands blood group is O+. I would like to know what all precautions should we take. I am little over weight. Have recently started going for 45 mins walk daily. Any health tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Brief Answer:
Precautions advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
thanks for trusting health care magic
Yes dear you can plan pregnancy and there is nothing to worry.
B negative group female if delivers a positive blood group baby then needs to get an injection of 2500 rs and that's all.
If possible to lose weight then try your best as it will decrease the problems commonly seen in pregnancy like diabetes and increased blood pressure.
So try to cut on sugar, potatoes and rice.
Take a lot water with green salads and fresh fruits. Take folic acid supplements.
In case you have any other question please feel free to ask.

Thank you for your quick response. What is the dosage of the folic acid supplements? From when should I start taking the supplements and for how long?
Brief Answer:
Start taking folic acid
Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Start taking folic acid now itself, as it is good to take folic acid prior to conception and best if taken for 3 months prior to conception in the dose of 5 mg once daily.
Folic acid is very important for brain and spine development of the baby.
Wish her a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby
Take care
