Yeah RH- (RH factor) is not common in AA, and it's rare if found in AA.. RH- is a rare blood type in general and few have it, but when found it's mostly found in the Caucasians..To be precise, Rh isn't a blood type, but an antigen or "factor." It's actually a protein that can be found on the surface of most, but not every person's, red blood cells. My blood type is A-, for instance. (Not THE rarest, but only 7% of the Caucasian population. I always knew that I was special.

Just getting out of doctor's appt, will try a find the chart I saw a few months back that was newly updated... Originally Posted by Champagne Brown

The fetus was Rh-positive, so my immune system made antibodies that attacked the baby, my body literally "rejecting" it, but took nearly 9 months to do so, sadly, with me unaware. There's a common test and injectable treatment to prevent that, now, happily.)
