I am A Rh pos but doctor said my's not much good ot me so cannot give to any one else Val

I must admit I don't know, I'll have to find out one day. Every time there is a blood donation point near by I'm ill and if I'm well you can gaurentee i've just and anti biotics! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Frequency of major blood groups in the UK population O+ 37% O - 7% Total O 44% A+ 35% A - 7% Total A 42% B+ 8% B - 2% Total B 10% AB+ 3% AB - 1% Total AB 4% Total Rh + 83% Total Rh - 17% ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Did you know there are over 23 knoen blood types? A, B, AB, O acount for 4, Rh +/- is 2 so that makes 8 all together, but there are other antibosies that do not caurse problems like giving someone who is Rh neg, Rh pos blood or by giving the wrong blood group (AB, A, B,O)

B positive - there don't seem to be many of us about. Christina

all my family donate still trying to convince my OH that its a good idea! i am not aloud anymore doctor says if i was to donate half a pint of blood i need two back! lol

I'm with you grandpa Jim, AB positive! Tracey

I got thrown out of the blood donors for fainting.

Julie - sorry didn't mean to sound harsh. xx Obviously some people have a phobia and therefore cannot do it. But a lot of people can but just don't really 'fancy it'. The last three times I've given blood I've needed attention afterwards due to fainting and it's not a nice experience BUT if it helps someone in surgery, labour etc then I'm happy to do my bit.

emm, it is red anyway lol. I think its the common one. O pos Marion

I'm A +. Viv

It's not like a deliberate effort not to help people. I shake, go cold and then pass out when they try to stick needles in me! In my defense I try and give to charities when I can, sometimes even when I can't afford it really and I'm not saying that so you'll all think I'm great it's not something I usually mention at all cos its a private thing but I can't give blood I just can't! Sorry Julie xxx

My brother is O Neg and he gives blood regulary but I can't give blood so I told my brother to give for me as well!!! (I have been told by a doctor not to give blood) Tammy

Laphroig, Pure Malt,only given to deserving causes. Hal.:0<)))

Sue - No! lol Copied it from www*giveblood*co*uk It's a cause I believe very strongly in. I give blood regularly and am on the Bone Marrow Register. It really annoys me that most of the people I know WON'T give blood because they're scared of needles!

Bec, I have to say that's a decent description of the Blood goup system, are you 'in the trade' so to speak? I'm A Neg, all the rest of the family are A Pos. Suex

Me too Dawnie - And they are really painful those injections!! Tammy :~)

Well no one so far seems to be B postive so I wil start the trend! Jacky :-)

O rh negative Gloria

I'm A Negative hubby is O positive means that because he has passed his lot onto the children I had to have anti d injections after having all of mine so I would reject further pregnancies. and he knows I hate needles think he did it just to spite me.lol

O positive and I'm too much of a baby around needles to give blood! Julie xxx

O+ rh D I think!! Susie x
