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! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Would be a very interesting thing to research thou. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

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. :) ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

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. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

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-. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
