How can I determine what will my baby look like?

Answer by  Arin (247)

There is no way to know with any certainty, except that it will have similar features to the mother and father, and quite probably resemble it's grandparents also. Because of the random nature, you will not know specifics until the baby is born. Be aware sometimes mutations occur too.

You can get a good idea of what he will look like by getting a 3-d or 4-d ultrasound. These give very good details to facials features. Be sure to get the go ahead from your obstetrician first.

There is no way you can tell exactly what your baby will look like. It could have a combination of looks of both parents or it could have a trait that is recessive in the parents. If you and the baby's father both have brown eyes, it's possible your baby could get blue eyes if it runs in your family.

The short answer is "you can't". You can see the baby's features on some sophisticated ultrasound machines, but that's not going to tell you everything. The obvious answer is that he'll look like some blend of the mother and the father. Which features will come from which parent is anybody's guess and depends on the child.
