Blood Group

May be stupid, but how can one's blood group change?

I'm sorry but how is that possible?

If your mother is *genetically* AB you must be either AB, A or B - everything except O.

Im not 100% sure, but my dad doesnt know his blood type, so it could be possible it came from him.

My mother couldnt of lived past the age of 5 if she kept AB

I actually don't know my blood group. I suspect quite a lot of people don't...

The only way she could "change" her blood type as far as I'm aware is with a bone marrow transplant? But genetically if she is AB and you are O she cannot be your biological mother.

I'm A+ :smile:

If either parent has Group AB it will not be possible for any of the children to inherit Group O.
If both parents have group O, all their children must have Group O.
If both parents have Group A, it is still possible for some of their children to have Group O.
