which blood group is most common - #22436
I am worried because I just found out my blood type during a routine check-up and it's AB+, which I heard is one of the rarer types. I always thought it was kinda funny how people talk about their blood types and like, which blood group is most common. I remember my mom told me she’s A+ and that got me curious, but then I googled it and wow, I saw that O+ is the most common one. I thought O- was the common one at first. I also had a friend who said he always wanted to know, which blood group is most common among his family because they were all different types but now, he knows it’s O+. I feel kinda helpless about this whole blood type thing, especially if I ever need a transfusion or something. Do blood groups really matter that much when it comes to health? Like, what if I needed blood and there’s not enough O+ around? What exactly does it mean when they say which blood group is most common – does that affect our chances in emergencies? I’m just confused and feeling like I’ve gotta understand blood types better especially after hearing all the talk about which blood group is most common. Anyone else in a similar boat or could shed some light on this?
