Blood type?

AB- is the rarest.

[NHSworkerbee]

mine too

are you thinking of donating?

A+ not that rare,we are fairly common,lol

[mumhadenough]

I'm an a+ too, don't think its that rare but not the most common either. Is it not something like 9% of the population or something like that?

[NHSworkerbee]

I think commonest is O pos.

A pos about 34% iirc

[mumhadenough]

I lie, its 35%, A- is 7%, you can see the stats here

That is really interesting as i am O+ the most common and my hubby is AB- the rarest. We both used to give blood but i was called up more than hubby not sure why. Would like to know what my childrens blood groups could be??

[Honneybunny]

Kathrina, you are called more often as O+ blood is accepted by A+, B+, AB+ and other O+ patients. Your blood is therefore much more in demand than your husband's AB-.
I think your kids can be any blood type except for AB+ or -.

[Kathrina]

Thanks Honneybunny. I didn't know that.

[Honneybunny]

oh, no sorry, they will not be O either... they will be either A or B. And they can be either "+" or "-", I think.
