Can a mom with Rh positive blood have an Rh positive baby?
The most severe form of erythroblastosis fetalis is that resulting from Rh incompatibility. But you can have erythroblastosis fetalis with ABO incompatibility as well. And this can occur with any child, even the first, and even with an Rh-negative child. However, if you're referring to Rh-incompatibility erythroblastosis fetalis, the answer to your question is, "Not usually" (assuming she hasn't had a previous Rh-positive child). In Rh-incompatibility, erythroblastosis fetalis occurs with the woman's second Rh-positive child. The first Rh-positive child's blood gets into the mother's bloodstream (e.g. at childbirth). The mother's blood makes antibodies to Rh. Since the first child is already born, this does not affect the first child. Then, when she has a second Rh-positive child, her antibodies cross the placenta and attack that child's blood cells. On the other hand, if the mother is exposed to the Rh factor of the first child's blood earlier in the pregnancy somehow, then I suppose she could develop enough antibodies to cause a problem for that first child.
Erythroblastosis fetalis?
DefinitionErythroblastosis fetalis is a potentially life-threatening blood disorder in a fetus or newborn infant. This article provides a general overview. For more detailed information see the specific disorder:ABO incompatibilityRh incompatibilityAlternative NamesHemolytic disease of the newbornCauses, incidence, and risk factorsErythroblastosis fetalis develops in an unborn infant when the mother and baby have different blood types. The mother produces substances called antibodies that attack the developing baby's red blood cells.The most common form of erythroblastosis fetalis is ABO incompatibility, which can vary in severity.The less common form is called Rh incompatibility, which can cause very severe anemia in the baby.SymptomsSymptoms in a newborn baby may include:AnemiaEdema (swelling under the surface of the skin)Enlarged liver or spleenHydrops (fluid throughout the body's tissues, including in the spaces containing the lungs, heart, and abdominal organs)Newborn jaundiceSigns and testsSpecific tests depend on the type of erythroblastosis, but may include:Complete blood countBilirubin levelBlood typingTreatmentAfter birth, depending on the severity, a transfusion usually needs to be performed.For specific treatment information, see:ABO incompatibilityRh incompatibilityExpectations (prognosis)The severity of this condition can vary widely. In some instances, the baby has no symptoms of the disease. In other cases, it can lead to death of the baby before or shortly after birth. It can be treated before birth by intrauterine transfusion.ComplicationsComplications depend on the specific type of erythroblastosis fetalis.PreventionThe most severe form of this disease, Rh incompatibility, can be prevented if the mother takes a medicine called RhoGAM at certain times during and after pregnancy. If you have had a baby with this disease, be sure to talk with your doctor if you plan on having another baby.ReferencesGruslin AM, Moore TR. Erythroblastosis fetalis.

What is erythroblastosis fetalis?
It is when the mother has antibodies in her blood to the baby's blood group and the antibodies cross the placenta and start breaking down the baby's red blood cells causing hemolytic anemia. The most common is when a previously sensitised Rhesus Negative mother has a Rhesus positive baby, but ABO incompatibbility is not unknown. See the weblinks for further ionfromation.
