Expectant parents will anticipate that their babies will end up looking more like one of them. Sometimes, it could even be a fun mix of both. Upon ultrasound, it may be easy to tell where your baby got distinct attributes from, although you won’t be able to see clearly until about the last few weeks of pregnancy.

However, it is really the genes that tell how your baby will look like. Like a blueprint, your baby’s attributes are already programmed, which happens at the earliest stage of conception - specifically, when sperm meets egg.

Your baby’s hair color, eye shape, height and body structure, among many others, are already pre-determined during the first month of pregnancy. However, you won’t be able to fully see them until you give birth, or perhaps when your baby grows into childhood.
