What should pregnant women with type O eat to prevent hemolysis?

Before becoming pregnant, some women will learn about pregnancy knowledge. As a result, many pregnant women with type O blood find that their children may have hemolytic disease. In this case, they will naturally feel worried, and they hope to find ways to prevent this from happening. So, what should type O pregnant women eat to avoid hemolytic disease?

Pregnant women cannot rely solely on diet to prevent hemolysis, but also need to use treatment methods, such as Chinese medicine and injections. If the mother is type O and the father is type A, B, or AB, they belong to the high-risk group and need to regularly maintain the antibody titer during pregnancy. The standard value should be above 1:64. On the contrary, if it is 1:128 or 1:256, you need to be alert to the possibility of hemolysis. If there is any abnormality, you can treat it during pregnancy and take Chinese medicine or injection under the guidance of a doctor, as long as it is within the standard value by the time of delivery. If the treatment during pregnancy is not satisfactory, treatment can still be given after the baby is born. If a pregnant woman has had frequent miscarriages, neonatal hemolysis, early neonatal jaundice, or neonatal anemia, edema, etc. in the past, she should suspect that the blood type of the fetus is inconsistent and should undergo examination and diagnosis. If the child's blood type does not match the mother's after birth, medical treatment should be sought as soon as possible.

How can pregnant women with type O disease prevent hemolytic disease? 1. Do a good job of checking before marriage and find out whether you are RH positive or negative as soon as possible. If the RH blood type of the couple is inconsistent, the mother's antigen value should be regularly maintained in the early, middle and late stages of pregnancy. If the antigen is too high, you should follow the doctor's advice, do regular prenatal checkups, and give birth as soon as possible according to the condition of the fetus to avoid further destruction of the fetus's blood.

2. Regularly test the serum antibodies of pregnant women: Pregnant women should have blood drawn regularly for testing to measure blood cell antibodies (i.e. IgG anti-A or IgG anti-B antibody titer) after 16 weeks of pregnancy. An antibody titer less than 1:64 is considered safe.

3. Take Chinese herbal medicine when necessary: ​​Pregnant women can take Chinese herbal medicine before delivery and actively treat and recuperate according to the doctor's instructions to alleviate the degree of neonatal jaundice.
