What's your blood type?

[NYMama]

I posted already that I'm A-. What's interesting about the A- blood type is that only 6% of the population in the US is A- (according to wikipedia, w/ similar rates for other countries). I counted 12 people on this thread who stated that either they (or in a few cases their mother, or grandmother) were A- and had HG. That seems like a higher proportion than the 6% national average. And although I didn't count, there seemed to be a fair share of negative blood types in general (o- is 7% of national population, b- is 2% of national population). It just seems like a higher than normal population of negatives. Who knows, it's just all very interesting...

After reading this thread, I've been so interested in blood type, immune system, liver functioning. Someone mentioned above that type A's can have liver and immune system problems. I've always been so sensitive to medications and alcohol (and now pregnancy hormones), which can be related to liver issues. My doctor has also noted that I have a hypersensitive immune system - my blood was tested years ago when I happened to have a cold, and my white blood cell count was very high. After re-testing a few weeks later, it was fine, but the doc said I have an overactive response when I'm sick. I was discussing this at work tonight, and one of my co-workers happens to be A- and said the same thing about her immune system - very high white blood cell count when sick - and also very sensitive to medications and alcohol. (But, she had a fluffy pregnancy...)

EX H was O+


All of my babies have been O+


(My boys were glad that Jordan was their blood type and not mine or Charles' how funny is that?)

[Xphile_mo]

I am also A+ (hubby is O+). No-one else in my family has every had HG (or even heard of it) and no-one currently living has the same blood type as me so maybe there is something to this theory?!?

[NNicole]

This is ver interesting. I started counting everyones types when I started reading this is what I got. I didn't pay attention to if people posted more then once or not though, unless it was 2 of the same people in a row. But pamela Rose makes a good point in her post on page four. I am A- I just counted us HGers not mothers or grandmothers.
A- 11
A+ 21
O- 10
O+ 14
B- 2
B+ 4
AB- 2
