A person with blood group O positive and another with O negative can definitely have a baby together. The main consideration here is the Rh factor difference: one is Rh positive and the other is Rh negative.

Blood Group Compatibility: Both parents having blood group O means the baby will also have blood group O.
Rh Factor Consideration: Since one parent is Rh positive and the other Rh negative, the baby could inherit either Rh positive or Rh negative status.
Pregnancy Implications: If the mother is Rh negative and the baby is Rh positive, there can be a risk of Rh incompatibility, which can affect the pregnancy. This condition is manageable with medical care.
Medical Advice: It is important for the mother to have prenatal check-ups where her blood type and Rh status are monitored. If needed, she may receive an injection called Rh immunoglobulin to prevent complications.

In summary, having different Rh factors does not prevent having a healthy baby, but it does require proper prenatal care to ensure the best outcome for both mother and child.

I'm a bit worried after getting my ultrasound results. It says I have mild hepatomegaly with grade I fatty liver, and there are small renal calculi in both kidneys. The report also mentions a left ovarian hemorrhagic cyst measuring 39x32mm and a mildly bulky cervix with a few nabothian cysts. There's also some free fluid in the pouch of Douglas. Can you help me understand what all this means? Is there anything serious I should be concerned about?

Fatty liver management often includes lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight management. You may be referred for further liver function tests.For the renal stones drinking more water and avoiding foods that contribute to stone formation.The ovarian cyst may require monitoring, especially if there are any symptoms such as pain or changes in menstrual cycles. If the cervical cysts and bulky cervix are causing symptoms, they may need further attention.
