    Hi folks,

    I'm wondering if baby's blood type is taken as a matter of course for all babies at Holles St. or is it only for Rh- mums?

    If they do take the blood type of all babies including those of Rh+ mums, I wonder is it possible to get the blood type from them?

    Thanks in advance

    I thinks its only RH- to see if the mother may need the anti-D injection

    I had my baby in Holles st last week and asked them then, they only take it if the mum is Rh negative
