I know how it feels to want the best for your baby, even if he does wind up with one, he will be okay just as you, I and millions of others are okay with our marks.
Thnx ladies for ur replies..
I don't think birth marks are hereditary. My husband and I have identical birth marks, mine is on the back of my hand and his is behind his ear, and they are the exact same shape, completely identical. Our son doesn't have it. He has two small 'wine stains' on the sole of his foot.
If you make a big deal out of it, then so will your child if they have one. Kids are more susceptible to adults' emotions than people think . If you don't want them to feel insecure then STOP treating it like it's a big deal.. cuz it shouldn't be. Maybe call it a "beauty" mark instead? I would want to teach my child to accept herself and others as they are. Birth marks and all. It's part of what makes us special. I think you're a bit traumatized from your experience but your child doesn't have to be if YOU teach him/her to love themselves as they are.
Thnx smich cnt wait to hve my gorgeous prince:)
