Can you tell from an ultrasound picture who the baby will look like? - Rachel L - 11-09-2012 04:36 PM
Can you tell from an ultrasound picture who the baby will look like?
I had a 3D ultrasound done at 24 weeks pregnant. I'm trying to figure out who the baby looks like. Is it possible to see a resemblance to the father of the baby through an ultrasound? I think the baby looks like my husband, but am I just being rediculous? Can anyone else see a resemblance between their ultrasound pictures (3D ones) and what their baby actually looked like at birth?

I did....But they did the 3D for me at about 35 weeks...I got lucky they did it at my reg ultrasound and it was so neat...Both the babies came out looking quite a bit like the scan 2 weeks later....So i dont think your ridiculous...I love those pictures there so cute.

Yes I could see the resemblance from the 3d ultrasound and my son. It was a cool new thing for me, they didn't have that 13 years old when I had my daughter.

I swore my son had his father's nose and my mouth from his 20 week ultrasound. And he did!

Don't have any better photos of him from the side... but he came out just as I guessed from the scan. Also, he looked like he had an overbite on the scan... he doesn't, but to this day still has a habit of sucking his bottom lip, so I guess that's what he's doing on the scan!

I got a 3D picture not long before I was due. I thought for sure she looked exactly like my husband. I was sad cause he doesn't have a nose that would look good on a girl.
When she came out though she looked exactly like me. It's fun to try and see who they will look like, but into the baby actually comes out you can't really tell. Also the way they look at birth and how they look in a few months changes. So it they come out looking like one parent, that may change a little with time.

I have a sono pic from when I was like 4 or 5 mos preg and it shows her profile......if you look at her profile now (she's here btw) she looks exactly like the sono

No, if you see a resemblance it is because you are trying to see something that is not there. Babies generally don't resemble their parents with distinctive facial features because of baby fat. The reason is that the underlying bone structure is covered up. They can have some features not covered by fat that are similar like nose, eyes, and when born hair color. To say you can tell is just wishful thinking.

I got my 3D done when I was 35 weeks, and I could tell she was going to look like her daddy, and she does! She has his noise! She was sleeping so I couldn't tell her eyes, but it was her daddy all the way!

I could DEF see that my son resembled me from my 4D. He totally has my nose. And sure enough, when he was born he looked just like his mama

I did! My baby had my little button nose at week 20! SO amazing what they can see on there these days!
