What can I do to prevent bald gene?
My husband is balding, although he's only 33. His father went bald in his 40s. We're both Chinese. I read that sons inherit the bald gene, so I'm desperate to give birth to a daughter. Is there anything I can do during pregnancy to prevent baldness for my baby?
Don't take any medical or herbal supplements that you haven't cleared with your doctor. While you may be embarrassed to bring it up with them, taking any medicine or supplements while you're pregnant may harm your child. Statistics show a baby has a
4:7 chance of inheriting the baldness gene, so your baby may have a full head of hair after all. And while we'd all like to look like Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie, it's what's inside that counts at the end of the day. Use your energy to cultivate that and he or she will have no shortage of suitors and friends, hair or no hair.
