Pregnancy reason explained by a longtime blood don

This has to do with certain antigens present forever (after pregnancy) in the blood of women who have ever been pregnant.

Look up “HLA antibodies” if you are interested in learning more.

The presence of such antibodies in donated blood or plasma can cause a serious reaction in a patient receiving that blood, including lung injury.

That is why they cannot (for this patient) accept blood from women who have ever been pregnant.

Type O is not good in this case

I saw this situation posted on a group chat and they wrote that Type O will not work in this case.
