CMV negative would make a persons blood "golden" or more in demand. Maybe your mom is CMV neg also?
I know what my blood type is

Im O+ so is my oldest son, dont know about the little one which is surprising as many times as hes been stuck in his young life. I will have to ask next time. I think my boyfriend is O+ too, If so I guess he would pretty much have to be the same as us.
I'm O- and DH is A+ (first hubby was A+ too) and my kids are... A+, A+, A+, A-
Of course it has to be my DD that is A-, so she'll get to take those shots while preggers if she has a + hubby too. Sorry about that, baby girl.

There are two types of antibodies...Anti-A and Anti-B.
If you are type A blood, you have anti-B antibodies. Exposure to B blood is instant blood clotting (coagulation) and death.
If you are type B blood, you have anti-A antibodies. Exposure to A blood is instant blood clotting (coagulation) and death.
This is coagulation.
If you are type O blood, you have anti-A and anti-B. Exposure to A, B, or AB is coagulation. However, A, B, or AB people can receive your blood because you have their antibodies.
If you are AB blood, you do not have the anti-A and anti-B antibodies. You are a universal recipient.
The + or - is a Rhesus factor. Anyone with "-" that is exposed to "+" will start making the Rh antibodies, which is dangerous in the case of a Rh- mother and a Rh+ fetus. The mom will attack her baby because the body thinks that it is an intruder because of the presence of the antigen.
All blood types are inherited. You can actually determine your likelihood of having a blood type or your children having a blood type using a Punnett Square.
My mom is A, my dad is B. I am O. This means that my mom had to have an A allelle and an O, and my dad had a B and an O. AO x BO = 25% chance of having a baby with OO.
The blood type O is a recessive allele. A and B are dominant. This doesn't mean they're "more common," just that when they are present in the big old gene pool, they'll show.
I have known a handful of people with AB+ and they were all Eastern European Jews. I think that it is possible that they emigrated all from the same area. It's a fairly rare bloodtype, only about 4% of the population. There are Native American populations that are 100% O+. A+ is more common in European peoples, and B+ is overwhelmingly dominant in Asian populations.

Very interesting.

I may not be right and someone please correct me if I am wrong.
I am O- Rh- and when I was pregnant that meant that I had to have a shot before the babies were born and after the babies were born, everytime I was pregnant.
This is what the card says that they gave me after each shot:
"I am Rh (RhoGAM) Negative. I have received a protective injection of RhoGAM RhO (D) Immune Globulin (Human).
Important: Following antepartm administration of RhoGAM, Anti-D from the injection may be present at the time of delivery and detectable by antibody screening tests. The presence of this passive antibody does not disqualify me from receiving RhoGAM. If my baby is RH positive (or I have a miscarriage or abortion) I understand I must receive another injection, preferably within three days, to maintain my protection."
Don't know if this helps but I think this is what you are talking about.
Also, My dad is O+ and my mom is B+ all of my father's daughters are O- and my brother is O+. All of my sisters that had children or miscarriages had to receive this injection as well.
My son is O+ and my daughters are B+.

I've never heard of anyone having to get the shot after the pregnancy, just during it but then again, I'm O+ so I never went through all that. My son is O+ as well, not sure about hubby.

I am AB- bloodtype and RH- and I too had to have Rhogam shots at about 6 months into the pregnancy and another shortly after birth.
