Can blood group be determined before birth?

    Short Answer

    In some situations, yes. Blood group may be determined before birth using specialised medical tests when clinically required.

    Detailed Explanation

    Routine blood grouping is usually performed after birth using a blood sample. During pregnancy, specialised medical testing may sometimes determine the baby's likely blood group if medically necessary, particularly when Rh incompatibility is a concern.

    These tests are performed only under medical supervision and are not part of routine pregnancy care for everyone.

    Key Points

    • Blood group is usually confirmed after birth.
    • Specialised prenatal testing is available in selected situations.
    • Rh compatibility may require medical evaluation.
    • Testing is performed only when clinically indicated.
