Why does Rh incompatibility need previous sensibilization but ABO doesn't?

[QUOTE="Astronuc, post: 6824302, member: 15685"] The Rh negative means the mother does not have the Rh factor, which is then a foreign protein to which the mother's body reacts. I am Rh+, my mom was Rh- (my dad is Rh+), and that started an ongoing issue for my siblings. I believe my brother had one transfusion, my sister two and my youngest brother 4 transfusions. I don't believe it is correct for a mother O- or O+ to be expected to have anti-A or anti-B, but certainly if a baby is AO or BO, or AB, then the mother might develop anti-bodies. A and B proteins would be foreign to an OO mother, so her body might have an issue with AO or BO baby. Is that correct? Both can be serious. [/QUOTE]
