Hello Student

O blood group is a universal donor, provided Rh factor is same. Blood group in compatiblity between mother’s and child’s blood may cause complications. If an O type mother carries and A type foetus the child may be delivered with Anaemia & Jaundice. It is due incompatiblity of blood groups.
