O Negative. I had to get shots before, and after all 4 of my children were born, because not one of them had Rh negative blood. You'd think one of them would've, but then again I've no idea where I inherited it.
Yeah, it's pretty scary. It can actually kill the mother if you don't get the balancing shot if your baby is a different type than you are.

O...whichever one is the universal giver..but has to have the same type given.
O is universal donor, AB is universal recipient. All blood types have the O antigen since O is the base bloodtype. That is why it can be universal donor. AB has the O antigen as well as the A antigen and the B antigen and that is why it is universal recipient. You can't receive a blood type that has an antigen that yours does not have. Your body will reject it as a foreign invasion.

Steve,

But I though O was the rarest? Or is that just O neg? How much more uncommon is it to have an RH-? Most people so far are +...
O is the most common. AB is the least common.
