What do you know about it?

Question

Peolpe from different races having children together....I know all the tests a woman takes during a pregnancy....but is there any special tests she (being for example white) has to take if the man is (for example) black?

Just curious !!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

hahaha, this reminds me so much of my childhood questions.I always thought the baby would be literally half black and half white, like ..well..maybe you understand..lol.

But nah, things are the same inside:)

Answer 2

No, I'm mostly white and my husband is black and I never required any special tests during pregnancy.  

Answer 3

Um, no we are all human. There are things you can get tested for, but the race of the father has no determination of whether the baby will be more or less at risk for a certain condition.

Answer 4

Nope, we're all people. Same species so there's no problem. They're simply external differences. It's akin to a person with red hair having a child with a person with black hair.  

Answer 5

No, I doubt it.

Answer 6

no never heard of that. i'm inuit and my partner irish and there were no extra tests. once my son was born they did wonder if he was jaundiced or not and were too scared to ask me about my skin colour. i just found the whole thing funny.

Answer 7

No.  

Answer 8

no.?

Answer 9

no, they're arent any different kinds of test, bless your heart

Answer 10

Hi there is somthing that is called sickle cell thalassaemiathat is a test they screen you for when you have the blood test for the other things at the start of pregnancy.

It is not common in british people but if you or partner are from mediterranean, from africa or the carribean, the middle east india, pakistan, south america, ir south and south east asia, you or your partner could be a carrier of the disease, and sometimes if you are not and your partener is from these countrys he will need to test to determine weather he is the carrier which can be past onto your baby.

Sickle Cell disorders

have serious attacks of pain

can get serious life threatening infections

are usually anemic

need medications and injections when they are children and throught the rest of there lives to prevent infection

Thelassemian Major

Are very anemic

need blood transfusions every four to six weeks and need medicaion and injections all there lives.

most carriers are healthy and do not have the dissorders above but can pass them on etc.

So if my husband was black and from one of the countrys above he will need to be tested, even if he has ancestors that are from these countrys, I was told that its not common if we are both white and from england that we have it, but they test every pregnant woman anyways.

Im not sure if this is what you meant, but this is what I thought you might of over heard the women talking about,
