my family all have hazel eyes, my husband's all have blue eyes,there a slight chance my baby's will be blue?

Question

I know blue is recessive, but is there any chance?

Answer 1

yeah, there is definetly a chance. My mom has brown and her brothers, sisters, mom and dad all had brown eyes. My dad has blue and I ended up with blue. There is definetly a chance.

Answer 2

If you or your husband have a dominant (non-blue) gene, the chance of your baby having blue eyes is: 50%
If both of you have the dominant (non-blue) gene, your baby will NOT have blue eyes.
If you both have dominant (non-blue) and recessive (blue) then your baby has a 25% chance of getting blue eyes.
However, because all of your family has hazel eyes, that means that you have a dominant and recessive gene. Your husband definetly has the recessive gene so this means, you do have a chance ranging from 25-50% depending on if he has all recessive gene (all blue-eyed) or if someone in his family gave him a dominant trait. There's no way to determine if he is carrying a non-blue, dominant trait with his recessive trait and that is why your odds are 25-50%.
Nevertheless, do not be fooled when your baby comes out with blue eyes. True eye color does not show up in your baby until a few months after birth.

Answer 3

The only way your baby will have blue eyes is if you have a blue recessive gene that combines with a blue gene from your husband's side. It sounds like this is entirely possible. If your husband has blue eyes (meaning he has a blue eye gene from both sides), and you have a blue recessive gene, then the odds are 50%. If your husband does not have blue eyes, but you both have the blue recessive gene, the odds are 25% that your child will have blue eyes, but if either one of you does not have the gene for blue eyes, the odds are zero.

By the way, blue eyes may be pretty, but they're not necessarily the healthiest color to have. Blue eyes tend to be associated with fair skin, so then you would have to worry about sun screen for your child. I think people with blue eyes are also more likely to need glasses, but I'm not as sure about that.

Answer 4

They Will Be Blue For A Few Weeks After Birth My Parents Both Have Different Colored Eyes. My Father Has Gray And My Mother Has Hazel And I Ended Up With Blueish Greenish Eyes Unless I Am Mad... My Firends Tell Me That I Have Dark Grey Eyes... But Who Knows....
They Will Probably End Up One Of The Two Colors In Its Eyes

Answer 5

Yes there is a chance. My eyes are brown (which is most dominate) and the father of all 4 of my kids are blue. It took the forth time for my child to have blue eyes. So i had a 25% chance, but yours is probably greater. Also look at your whole family. Is there any blue eyes in your family. Look at his family. What is the ratio of blue eyed people. This might also help you determine eye color factor. But the truth of the mater, you wont know the actual color of the child until almost a year after birth. Most babies eyes are blue at birth anyway, and sometimes chance back n forth between colors.

Answer 6

Yes there is a chance. My daughter and my son have different fathers. My daughters father has blue eyes and mine are Hazel, she has like a blueish grey/hazel eye color. Just depends on what she's wearing. My Husband has Hazel eyes as well and our son has baby blue eyes. Im due the end of the month with our second son and Im also wondering if they will be Hazel or blue.

Answer 7

If your father or mother, or their fathers and mothers had blue or grey or green you can defiantly have a baby with blue eyes. And brown eyes are not always dominate it depend more on the fathers linage.My husbands mother and father had brown eyes and the paternal-grandfather had deep piercing blue eyes out of 11 children 3 had the same color of blue. All my children are brown eyed like my ex, but my daughters boyfriend has blue eyes and my grand-baby has blue like his dad, and I have hazel that change from grey to blue to green. So I hope you get what you want and they will be beautiful no matter the color.

Answer 8

My mother has hazel eyes and my dad's were blue. Out of 4 children, 3 were blue and one was brown. Genetically speaking, you probably have a good chance since your families eyes are all hazel instead of just brown. My husband is latino and all of his family's eyes are very dark. I have really crazy light blue eyes, and I would love to pass them on, but I'm not sure that I'm really expecting to since his genes are probably much more dominant in that area.

Answer 9

Yes there actually is a chance for the baby to have beautiful blue eyes.

Answer 10

Yep! If you have hazel eyes, that means you have the recessive gene for blue eyes, and you could pass that gene to your baby. Your baby could definitely have blue eyes. It could also have lovely green or hazel eyes. Good luck!!!
