Will our baby be ginger!

[carolineb23]

Hi, Sorry if this sort of thing has been posted, but i cant find mych info on the internet to help! I have blue/grey eyes and light brown hair (it was blonde until my early teens) and my husband has blue/green eyes and ginger hair. I know ginger is a recessive gene but I wonder if anyone knows what this sort of combination would create! Thanks for any help!

he has greeny brown eyes like me.

We went shopping in London and he got scouted by someone looking for kids to model for Adams. I thought about it but then figured thats a lot to ask of a child, would have been nice though.

Try this, I found it in the pregnancy section - I knew I had seen it somewhere.

Meant to say - that came courtesy of Schlomo - in case she thinks I am stealing! XX

my brothers first born was ginger and his second blonde.
our mum and her brothers and sisters were all ginger but all of their kids were either blonde or dark hair its quite strange that the ginger gene has come out in one of the grandkids rather than the direct children.

also my friends partner is ginger and his two chidren are blonde. your right ginger people do tend to get bullied and noone wants that for there children so GOOD LUCK!

My parents both had brown hair, there are 7 of us, I very dark brown, 1 medium brown, 2 who were blond and are now brown, 2 strawberry blond and one proper red. Out of 12 grandchildren there are no red heads - though my sisters little girl has a reddish tinge to her her - my sister is the one with the proper red hair. My neice has 2 boys now, neither of whom are red haired. As I recall, I think one of my mums brothers was red, but I don't know of any others in the family on either my mums or dads side. I guess what I am saying is that i don't think that it follows a particular format - so you will just have to wait and see - you get some really cute ginger kids though just like you get some less attractive kids with different hair colours!

I have light brown hair and brown eyes. Hubby has blonde hair and blue eyes.
We have three daughters. 1 blonde, 1 ginger, and one dark hair.

My ginger girl loves her hair and tells people when they tease her that one day they will be paying good money to have hair that colour.
