Do You Know Your Blood Group?

That is really nice to know...that can be a big help in case of emergency! Thanks @lovinangelsinstead21 ! Take care! Stay blessed!

@lovinangelsinstead21 , why not ? it depends of ones perception how this can be used! Thanks ! Stay blessed!

@AKRao24 You too and I think to have your blood group on a medal of some kind that you can carry with you is a blessing also as you never know if you might need it.

Yes, that is very true...You have been lucky to have him with Rh -ve blood! But then today with many facilities available these things are not that serious now as used to be in the past! Thanks for sharing an interesting and important information here @LilyBeBack ! Stay blessed!

@LilyBeBack , exactly there you are! And Anti - D injections are available very easily now a days and the things are not that serious now! Thanks!

@AKRao24 As far as I know, when the mother is rhesus negative and the baby isn't, there's no risk to the first child but the first pregnancy causes the mother to produce antibodies during subsequent pregnancies and that's when there's a risk to the next baby. However they just have to give the pregnant mother and the new baby anti-D injections to prevent it happening

I am impressed that you know blood groups of all your family members! Thanks @BelleStarr !

You mean 'O' positive....that group is the common group ! Nice to know that it has been recorded in your Health Care Card and also in the Hospital records! Thanks @LadyDuck!

@LadyDuck , I am sorry it is 'O' negative , and that is not common but it is rare group! You will have to get another 'O' negative donor to have blood! But You have Universal donor blood group, that means you can donate blood to any one with any blood group! Thanks!

@AKRao24 No, I mean Zero negative, minus 0, it is not at all common.

That is really a nice thing to carry a card in the wallet and also keeping a card ready at our home! Thanks a lot @ramapo17 for responding! Stay blessed!

I am a Vet and i can understand what you want to say! If we know our blood group we can have a list of friends or relatives in a list who can be of our help in case of emergency as most of the times Blood Banks may not have the required blood groups readily available. Thanks @NJChicaa!

That is nice to know @dodo19 ! Please get your husband's blood tested and get his group , as it is very important thing to know! Thanks!

@dodo19 , I appreciate that! Thanks! have a great time! Thanks!

@AKRao24 It definitely can't hurt for him to know. It would make things easier.

Yes, you are correct! Nice to know that to know your own blood group along with your near and dear ones! I am impressed! Thanks @sprite1950 !

@AKRao24 Thanks!

Oh , if you have blood transfusion then it is obvious that you know your group! If you don't mind, may I know what for you have your blood transfusion @amadeo?

@amadeo , I understood it now ! Wish you all the best and have a great time friend! Thanks!

I am really feeling sorry to know that you don't know your blood group and also your mom's too! This is an important issue and you can't be casual about it! We must know our blood group and document it some where which is easily accessible in case of emergency like on Identity Card or driving License! In case of emergency it becomes easier to treat a person if blood group is known...as it prevents the wastage of precious moments at that time! Thanks a lot @DesirousDreamer! Please think coolly and seriously about it what has been said here! Stay blessed!

@AKRao24 I already know this. It isn't my fault I don't know it. I don't have the money to get it tested either. It should be something on birth certificates but it is not.

@DesirousDreamer ,Is it very expensive to get it done? Here in our country Government Hospitals do it free of cost! And there are many blood donation camps held on regular basis where the organizers get this test for free! Thanks!

@Raj7779 , so nice to know that you have already done that! God bless dear friend! Take Care!

That is nice to know dear @Raj7779! Please write it on your identity Card or Driving License or keep it in your pocket in the form a small card so that it cab be useful in case of emergency! Thanks!

@AKRao24 i am a college student so in my identity there is a field of blood group and i have written there.that identity card is always in my bag.i know that its useful in emergencies.

Nice to know that you have got your Blood Group mentioned on a card and it is safe in your purse! I never had a idea that people can guess our personalities with the help of blood groups @YrNemo....Oh God...I have already disclosed my group....I need to careful from the people from Japan and Korea now

@YrNemo , I will definitely go through the article! But without going through the article I feel these types of opinions about the people they simply sounds biased and unfair! The nature has its own way of making the things balanced, it must have balanced every individual with traits associated with the blood group in case if they really exist! Thanks for the informative response!

@AKRao24 I read quite a few articles about it after watching a certain South Korean movie. Seems as some could be quite paranoid about this, to the extent that if the applicants for certain jobs happened to be of a certain blood group (B or something), then they wouldn't have a chance. Similar thing when girls or boys search for their Mr or Miss Right (partner!). If my memory serves me right, O and A seem to be considered as givers, generous, B are takers, etc. (I thought the whole thing is unfair, yet I have begun to notice people's blood group and try to analyze if that belief is true.) If you read that wiki article, do let me know your view re; this sort of prejudice. (I am a A something, too complicated to remember!)

@Starmaiden , Oh I understand that, there are some parameters which they follow before getting the blood as a donation! Thanks!

There is nothing to feel embarrassed , if you don't know about your blood group as you have never felt the need so far! However I think it takes a couple of minutes to get it done at any blood bank, if you are interested ! Thanks @Starmaiden ! Have a great time!

@AKRao24 I haven't donated blood because I take a number of medications. :-(

Nice to know that , you have found it recently as it is very important piece of information in case of emergency! Thanks!

We don't have any such blood groups in India...Can you elaborate about the system where you have blue as a group? Thanks! @Bluedoll

@Bluedoll , but then it won't help in recognizing your blood group dear friend! Thanks!

@AKRao24 I'm blue inside. I don't know just the way it is.

That is nice to know dear friend @tom_view! You must donate your blood as much as possible as this is a common group and people they require more blood of this group in the World! Thanks! God bless!

@tom_view same here

What do you mean? You must know about it dear boy @mohit459! Please try to get your group as early as possible as it has many uses! Thanks! Stay blessed !

@mohit459 , Nice to now that dear friend! Take care! happy Sunday!

@AKRao24 ya ... it's important !.. I will soon go for blood test!.

Thanks a lot for responding,I appreciate that @vandana3 ! Stay blessed and hope to see more responses from you!

That is an important piece of information one should know @dya80dya , as this can save lot of valuable time in case of emergency while receiving or donating the blood! Thanks!

Umm...Mine was also coffee for some time then got shifted to Tea...but those moments were not really happy for me, as today i realize that I was making my blood with those things because of the stress! Thanks a lot dear @august18!
