All it takes is that the parents have one gene for the recessive factor each.

[snip] This is new to me, thanx, nice to know. So there may relatively not be much Rh- blood around, but there are a lot of recessive Rh- genes around.

Yep. There's also a lot more 0 genes around than there appears to be.

[snip] I happened to be baby #2 and I got so sick they warned my mother not to have more children, but somehow the next two didn't get quite as sick as I did. Strange.

Doesn't that have to do with the fact that you are Rh- whereas neither your mother nor the other siblings are -?

No, I am not Rh- ; I am A Rh+ but carry the gene for Rh-. This is the equivalent of the Rh- thing, but with an 0 mother having A children instead. People with blood type 0 have varying amounts of A and B antibodies, and my mother has a LOT of them. All her children were A, so we all got sick to varying degrees. It's the exact same thing as the Rh-/Rh+, just involving a different bloodtype factor.

In The Netherlands every mother who is Rh- and gives birth to to a Rh+ baby standard gets anti-anti Rh+ blood injected, also when a Rh-lady has a miscarriage or an abortion she gets this injection. So that means the end of trouble if more children follow.

Nice. They didn't have it 20+ years ago.
