Ugly Babies

Is anyone else nervous about having a not-so-cute baby?
I mean let's face it....there are some very unattractive infants out there. That's not to say they don't turn into adorable toddlers, but sometimes you just have to hope no one asks you your opinion of how cute their child is. I know several first hand. Their parents are very attractive but for whatever reason, the infants just are NOT cute. I was one of them. I look at my baby pictures and just cringe!
I'm so nervous that I'm going to have one of those!

Re: Ugly Babies
This is definitely on my list of worries! ha
Not sure what just happened; never even hit post?!?! Sorry for duplicate posts!
Sorry for duplicate posts!
Yes, I am secretly afraid of this too
Even worse is that I'm afraid our little boy will have red hair (no offense to any red heads out there...I love it on women but not so much on men). MH and I both have brown hair but his beard hair grows in with a slight red tint to it. I am really hoping he didn't pass that down to our little boy.
Man, between this and my Unpopular Opinion post, I really sound like a horrible person

I'm not worried about it but you're right there are some ugly children out there. My sister's friend has one of these kids. She looks like a troll. Every time we see her my husband always whispers "my precious" in the Sm?agol like voice. Apparently this is a hobbit from Lord of the Rings he feels she resembles. I can't help but laugh every time he does it.
I know...we're @ssholes.
Haha we would totally do this too.
A) that's a pretty awesome thing that you did. I know some people who have used donor eggs and I can tell you that they are eternally grateful to their donors.

Even though I know that not all babies are super cute, and there are some babies that are way cuter than others, I think it's a non-issue to be honest. Like many people always say, you will never look at your own baby and think "Gosh he/she is ugly or not cute." By nature, babies are made to be small, cute and helpless to elicit a love/protection reaction out of parents. No matter what your baby looks like, you will find the beauty in him/her. Trust me, you will. It will be clear as day to you what is so cute about your baby, and other people might not see it as clearly and might not think your baby is ready to be a gerber baby-model, but you probably will....and that is what is so beautiful and special about being a mother. As a mom, you will be your childs #1 cheerleader. When everybody might put him/her down, you will see all the beauty, energy, spirit and greatness that your child has, you'll also see the negatives, but you'll understand them better than others and see the potential and realize that it's just a faze.
Also, babies are not only looks, but also personality. I've known plenty of infants and toddlers that might not look the cutest in pictures, but once you meet them and see their personalities and play with them, they become some of the most beautiful children you know. And some are so cute in pictures and you meet them and they have such a sour disposition that they no longer look as beautiful to you as they once did.
I'm not saying every mother in the world will be like this, but 99% of them will. And that's pretty good odds

Your baby will be beautiful. I am 100% sure of it

The first couple was an open donation. I looove them, they are now like family to me. They had a girl, froze the remaining eggs and then had a boy 3 months ago. I visited them in London when I was there and they came to see me after the boy was born. I am so glad I could help them on their journey, as a gay couple it would have been very hard for them to adopt so I think this was a great option for them. Also it was not weird because there was no woman who's role I was "stealing." The second 2 times it was for straight couples who usually do not want an open donation which is fine with me.
haha. I have a feeling that even if our baby is ugly we'll be blinded by it and think it's cute just because it's ours.
I think most newborns look strange anyway. Plus, like you said, sometimes babies start off ugly and get cuter later on.
So I'm not too worried!
Oh my goodness I think those babies are the cutest! I think of Hank Baskett and Kendra's baby. I look at your sig pic of the two of you and can't wait to see how your LO looks. I honestly think there is nothing cuter than a biracial baby.
Been away from theBump for a while, getting active again for all the good advice
What a wonderful thing to do for another couple! That's awesome.
As far as babies go: No matter what other people think of your child, you will think he is adorable ... because you'll know him (or her. whatever)! Personality and attachment make a huge difference.
Thank you
That's what everyone's been telling us too! We both have dark hair, mine's just coloured in my sig pic but my dad is a red head so my guy is all worried that the baby will pick up my dad's genes lol I think we'll be fine in the end. I told him if it's a girl maybe she'll end up lookin like Halle Berry lol
Gorgeous! Beautiful beautiful skin.

I feel like I'm destined to have an ugly baby because I'm the first to yell "Eeeeek" when I see an ugly baby picture up on Facebook.
I'm just worried that what they say is true, that parents find their children beautiful, and I'll be delusional about how cute my baby is.
We have definitely talked/joked about this. I'm sure we'll have our rose colored parent glasses on, though, and think our baby is the most precious, beautiful thing in the world, so that's good
Genetics is so weird, I have a friend whose mom is Japanese and her dad is African-American, and they had three daughters and one son. The son looks exactly like the dad, and the three girls look just like the mom, with slightly darker skin - from their family picture, I used to think that their family was like the Brady Bunch or something, but no, just the luck of the draw!
Yes! I hope we make cute kids. I think my husband is adorable and as a baby, he was the cutest boy. I'm Lebanese so I'm dark and short. I'm not sure this child will have a lot when it comes to height but I'm hoping he'll be dark and cute.
