If man and woman have the same blood group (0+) and the woman is pregnant, can she still give birth to a healthy child?

I have heard that if a man and woman have the same blood group, they cannot have healthy children.

Best,

That is definitely a myth. They can perfectly have a healthy child together. The blood group will not determine the health of the child, otherwise some “unhealthy” blood groups would have disappeared through natural selection.

I don’t know where you heard that, but such a question has already been asked. That story seems to be doing the rounds.

kind regards,

If man and woman have the same blood group (0+) and the woman is pregnant, can she still give birth to a healthy child?
