Healthy Parent = healthy baby???

Question

so I'm 19 and I am very healthy. I never eat unhealthy foods its always fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and lean meats. I also stay very active through out the day. If im very healthy will my kid turn out to be a healthy baby? also if both parents are good looking what are the chances of having a good looking kid?

Answer 1

If you're healthy then chances are your baby will be too. As far as looking as good as the parents are concerned, Well, I'm sorry but there are no guarantees. You'll just have to wait until they reach puberty.

Answer 2

It all depends on the genetics that your child gets.  I have seen very attractive babies born to not so attractive parents and vise versa.  

Also my son was born with congenital heart disease.  He had to have open heart surgery when he was a week old.  I took my vitamins everyday, I exercised and ate right.  Sometimes in life there are no guarantees.  Spending 5 months in the intensive care unit at a children's hospital has opened my eyes wider then I ever needed them to be.  The doctors said there was nothing that I could have done to prevent it.  It just happens sometimes.  1 in 100 babies are born with a heart defect.  Just do what you can and pray for the best.  Having a healthy baby is truly a miracle.  I don't really care if my son wasn't the best looking baby, all that matters is they are healthy.

Answer 3

As long as mom takes her prenatal vitamins and eats healthy-then you should have a healthy baby. Also-you'll have the best looking child in your eyes!!

Answer 4

Well genetically your child is predisposed to being "healthier" or "better looking", but things happen that can change their health, and children can come out looking like realatives so if there are some homely realatives a child can always come out looking like them. Lets just say continue to eat healthy and stay active, that gives the baby the right start and helps develop a healthy attitude seeing parents that try to stay healthy and active. And a kids looks change...all kids go thru an awkward stage, the ugly duckling story was written for a reason, many a swans were born ugly, dont stress about this stuff...just enjoy your pregnancy~
