Mongolian Blue Spots

[NaeNae]

I was wondering how many peoples children had these and what ethenticity you/your partners background are?

My DD2 is quite dark. Gorgeous deep olive skin ...well at the moment, she may lighten up though I hope not. At our MCHN appointment the nurse picked up on some faint discolouration on DD2 and told me they were Mongolian blue spots,she then asked about our heritage ane hubbys side are Scandinavian and my lines are Scottish.

She told me that there are quite a lot of darker skinned Scots because of earlier Spanish invasions or even back further ?

Anyhoo

I read somewhere that its a 3-10% chanceof caucasion babies having it.

How many others have had it and where do your bloodlines come from??

DD1 has very olive skin and has one of these too. We are both caucasian although I have the black Irish heritage in my background (ie the Spanish connection). My side of the family has olive skin while DP's are fair.

DD2 had one at the bottom of her spine. You can't see it now. She has lovely tanned skinned which comes from her dads side, they are Maltese. I am Australian with English background and have very white skin.
