Answer
Hello Patrick.
There is a "condition" in which problems could accur with blood types.
The mother may be RH-  You should ask her blood type. (after all she asked yours, right?)
I am not sure to be honest why she wants your blood type.  I would ask lots of questions.  It is your baby also.  (or at least until it is proven not to be it is)
Good luck, I am certainly sorry that I could not help more.
