I had blood taken at my first appointment and they checked my blood type while doing all the other blood tests. They didn't actually tell me my blood type, just that I was Rh- (which I already knew), but I'm sure you can ask. Funnily enough my parents told me I was O- my whole life so I didn't even question it when I was told I was Rh-, then when I gave birth someone mentioned I'm actually A-, so my parents were wrong since I was a baby š

Canāt remember what week but it was the midwife appointment after my 12 week scan, they took my bloods at the hospital then and my midwife went over the results at the next appt.

I've known mine, but when I got genetic testing done, it was on the report since they check for RH factors

I had my blood type come back with the vloods taken at the first midwife appointment. Mine took exactly 7 days to come back. If you don't know during the appointment next week the bloods they take will tell you so don't worry

I first found out when donating blood in school. But, they will order a test to find out regardless if you know it or not.

Itās so weird that you donāt actually know your own blood type until you donate or ask to know⦠Iāve had surgeries in the past and still didnāt even know my blood type until it popped up in my āpatients know bestā record when I had blood taken at my first appointment! Iām A- and according to blood test so is baby so thatās good!

They usually do a blood draw at the first appointment/ultrasound where Iām at. They didnāt tell me my blood type until my third trimester with my first, though, which was the same appointment I found out about the shot you get when youāre RH- š that was a surprise!

I told my midwife I had no clue what my blood type was at my first appointment and she found out for me as she sent me to get bloods taken to test for some stuff I can't remember what it was š
