What Will My Baby Look Like?!
Posted: 08-31-07 08:31am

Ok, so i'm pregnant and have been having some confusion about genetics and all that.

I'm fully white caucasian (altohugh i can't spell it) with light brown/dark blonde natural hair colour and blue eyes.

My bf, the father of the baby is half Phillipino as his mum was full phillipino.

So he obvs has very dark eyes, brown skin (though not as dark as full phillipinos) and dark hair.

Our baby will then presumably be quarter phillipino.

Does this mean he/she will definately have fully dark complexion or could they end up with dark hair and blue eyes or something?

Also confused as to what skin colour would be.

I reckon quite tanned olive colour.

Not sure!!!

Anyone no anything about this who can help suggest what baby might look like??

Sorry this is long!!

Thanks for reading anyways.

I can't help you out very much, but Diamondz (Jess, white) has 2 babies, tho their father is full Phillipino. Her kids are olive skin with dark hair and eyes, and they are GORGEOUS!
My daughter is 1/2 Hispanic, and I am white skinned....and in my avatar is a pic of my daughter.

It's likely the dark hair/eyes will be the dominant traits, but it all has to do with genetics beyond the mom and dad. You'll get a surprise Wink

lol its hard to say

out of EVERY one in my family i am the ONLy person with brown eyes
my sisters and brothers all have blue green eyes
my parents have green eyes

my dads father has brown eyes but his mum has blue eyes
my moms mom and dad both had green eyes
and i got brown...somehow
also all of my family has dark hair except me and my little sis
my sister was born with naturally so so blonde almost white hair and mine was a sandy blonde color. but my parents both have dark brown hair and does do my brothers and my older sister.

genetics are wierd

travis has very dark hair and dark eyes and his mom has dark hair and dark eyes and so does his dad
but his grandparents have light eyes and dark hair

my guess is that our babuy will probbaly have dark hair and maybe green eyes?

Confused

Hello,

I am also pregnant, 4 months, and I am full white with light brown/dark blonde hair and blue eyes. My partner is half Thai, with brown hair/eyes and tanned skin, so my baby will be quarter thai!

I also cant wait to see what the baby will look like, I have been told that there is 37% chance blue eyes, 12% green eyes, and 51% brown.

It will most likely have skin that tans easily, and brown hair. It could be fair when young but most likely darken as they get older.

Of course there is a chance they could come out fair haired and blue eyed, or dark haired and brown eyed, its all down to genetics.

It can also get traits from the grandparents, his mum is full thai but his dad has blue eyes which heightens the probability of the baby having blue eyes. My father has hazel eyes which is also a cross between blue and brown, so the baby could have hazel eyes!!

I hope this helps in some way!!

I'm fairly convinced it's gona be brown-eyed, brown-haired, tanned skin lol.

Well theres a web site that will tell you the eye colour probabilities, just type in what colour eyes will my baby have you should be able to find it. I also posted a msg on medhelp to ask them what the child would most likely look like!

How far gone are you?

no i don't! wish i did!

I found that website and for anyone else who is reading this who is interested it is museum.thetech.org/ugenetics/eyeCalc/eyeca lculator.html

My result came out as 20.8% chance of blue, 29.1% green and 50% brown.

So there's more chance than I thought of them not being brown!

With the skin color its hard to say, because the genes that control pigment run along a contiuum. Most likely the baby will be lighter than him but darker than you.

As for eye color, if you have blue eyes than you do not carry the trait for brown eyes at all. Blue eyes are a recessive trait. It is possible however to carry the gene for blue eyes and have brown eyes.

B B

b Bb Bb
b Bb Bb

In that case, the bb is the blue eyed individual, and the BB is the brown eyed one (in the case that the person with brown eyes does not carry the blue eye trait at all.) In this case, all the babies would always have brown eyes, but carry the gene for blue eyes as well.

B b

b Bb bb
b Bb bb


In that case, there is a blue eyed individual (bb), and a brown eyed individual (Bb) who carries the trait for blue eyes as well. With this combination, there is a 50-50% chance that the baby will have either brown or blue eyes.

Its pretty simple to figure out if your boyfriend has the blue eye trait in him. If either of his parents has blue eyes than he does. If not, look at his grandparents. If one of them does his mother/father carries one recessive copy of the gene as well, which he would in turn carry and could possibly pass on to cause a 50% chance of a blue eyed baby.
