YES...DR.V is in the house...and got your answers for ya!!
Ain't nothing really just that you can't give each other bloods if needed.
They lack A or B antigens...meaning:
Type 0- is basically the universal donor and can donate blood to any type, where the 0+ cannot..so if you are 0-, you can give blood to your wife but she can't do the same for you ..but 0+ can be given to any persons with type A,B,..So anyone with type 0+ is really going to have a hard time finding a donor, and that really sucks..

Further implications- (if you choose to have children and assuming that your wife has a rhesus negative {for example, 0 negative} blood group), include the possibility that the baby will have a positive blood group. If this happens, and the mother is not given appropriate Anti-D immunoglobulin, then there is a risk that the mother will have made rhesus antibodies. These antibodies do not affect the present pregnancy, but if your wife becomes pregnant again, these antibodies will 'attack' the zygote/embryo/fetus- usually resulting in a non viable pregnancy (miscarriage). So essentially, the different blood groups will not affect the health of you or your wife- it could only potentially affect the viability of future pregnancies.... Hope this helps!

Thank you Dr V, you have come to the rescue once again...........i suppose anyone who's O+ had better start shopping around for another O+..............or what do you think?...........

O+ means that ur a universal donor. and O- can only give blood to an O-person. and the rh factor is always important. when the woman is an O-, her first baby would be ok if is O+. but the rest will die after birt beacuse during detarchment, they exchanged blood and the body developed antibodies against it. so but if they take Rogam after birth, it will inhibit the dnase in the positive therefore, enabling them to have kids again.

In o+ a rhesus factor is present this most at times affects the female an O- lady cannot get married to an o+ man because when she is pregnant the man's blood which is O+ floes through d placenta to the baby killing it instantly this is the cause of some miscarriages d rhesus factor was first discorvered in monkeys

In addition to what has been said on this i want to add that there is what is called Rh Incompatibility/Isoimmunization-a Rhesus Negative woman getting pregnant for a Rhesus Positive Man;if the foetus inherits the Rhesus Positive blood factor from the father, the Rh- blood of the mother can be sensitized to develop antibodies against the Rh+ factor of the Rh+ blood. The 1st pregnancy MAY escape unhurt, but subsequent pregnancy that has Rh+ blood will be at risk of massive destruction of reb blood cells with resultant intruterine death if the mother was not given Anti D injection after the first baby. Rh- woman can marry Rh+ man she will need to be given Anti D injection after delivery of first pregnacy within 72 hours. There are tets to know the Rh status of the baby in the womb. If the baby is Rh- like the mother , the mother will not need any anti D injection after delivery-Dr Akinwilly

Blood is grouped into four types: A, B, AB, and O. Each type is also classified by an RH factor – either positive ( + ) or negative ( - ). When a blood transfusion is necessary, donor and patient blood must be compatible. If not, the patient’s body will react to the incompatible donor cells, leading to complications, maybe even death.
Your ABO blood grouping and Rh factor are inherited from your parents. Check the chart below to see what percentage of the population shares your ABO grouping.
When you donate, United Blood Services will send you a card with your blood type. Whatever type you are, someone in the community can benefit from your blood donation. Donate today. You’ll feel terrific!
Possible Blood Transfusion Combinations Type: Can be given to patients with type:
