   Never heard that before, but have no idea what blood groups by girls are.

   I have never heard of that one before   I am AB- and have no allergies.  Never have had.
 Sam however is AB+ and has loads of allergies - but I think it is due to DH's family being riddled with them!

   I've never heard that either? My girls are all A+ like their daddy, I'm O- and I don't have any allergies (well food allergies, I have drug allergies), my brothers and sis are all O as well and they have allergies.

   I am an AB blood type and have done quite a bit of research on it.  Apparently ABs have slightly odd auto-immune responses so the body can have a tendancy to turn on itself during times of illness (usually more serious illnesses such as cancer).  ABs have a slightly higher pre-disposition to allergies, and other auto-immune related conditions such as candida, rheumatoid athritis (sp??) to name a few.
 As with anything there is usually a combo of factors involved and the blood type is just one of those.
 
 Hope that helps. :)

   I only know coz I am RH- so all my babies have to have their cord blood tested at birth to determine blood group. I know I'm O- so since all the girls are A+, Willie must be too. 
This bub will 99.5% likely be - too, as only .5% of Maori people are RH -, but she could be O or A.

   They test your babies blood type from the cord if you are RH-. I know I am O- and so are the boys and DH is A-. |
