3. If the father is rhesus -ve there is no issues. If both the father and mother are -ve or +ve, there is no problem.
If the mother is rhesus +ve there is no issues. But if the mother is rhesus -ve and the father rhesus +ve that’s where there is an issue.
If the mother is rhesus +ve there is no issues. But if the mother is rhesus -ve and the father rhesus +ve that’s where there is an issue.
