    Yes! Explanation below


    Same with pos and neg - you possibly could have ++ or +-, but your
    husband is --, so the baby could have a positive or negative Rh factor
    - odds are it will be positive.



    Perhaps I should explain further.



    Blood Phenotype = A, B, and O. It takes two Phenotypes to make up a
    blood type. When they test for blood type, you only get the dominant
    Phenotype unless you are O or AB. So,



    A is dominant over O

    B is dominant over O

    Only two O's can produce O.

    An A and a B produces AB.



    AA = Type A

    AO = Type A

    BB = Type B

    BO = Type B

    AB = Type AB

    OO - Type O



    Your child will receive half of his/her makeup from you and 1/2 from
    your husband so if you are AA and your husband is AA or AO then the
    child will have type A blood. If you are AO and your husband is AA then
    the child will still have type A blood. Same if both of you are AA.
    But, if you are AO and your husband is AO there is a possibility that
    the child will have type A or type O blood. The same goes for Rh factor
    as positive is dominate over negative. Your husband is neg/neg as that
    is the only way to produce an Rh negative factor. You, on the other
    hand, could be pos/neg or pos/pos. Therefore, the child could be
    pos/neg and have a positive Rh factor or neg/neg and have a negative Rh
    factor. If you really want a conclusive answer you are going to have to
    find out what blood type you and your husband's parents have.

      You have not mentioned complete genotype of blood. Your blood type can be AA+or Aa+. Anyhow, if mother and father of child have + rh factor, then the offspring will always have +rh factor. The - rh factor of offspring can be resulted if anyone of parent have - rh.

        The short answer is "yes".
        Just as a couple who both have type B blood can have a type "O" baby.
        Actually it is much more common for an rh-negative child to have parents who are both rh positive!
        A very good, clear, explanation by a *doctor* can be found here:

        Hope this helps!
