Birth marks

I have 7 birth-marks all various sizes and colours from dark brown - port wine stains to bright red. So I guess I'm asking, how likely is it that my babies will have birth marks too? Does anyone have birthmarks and their children don't?

not sure it works both ways but i have none and both of my children have pigmented birthmarks on their skin (lighter then their skin colour) exact same colour just a different shape and in a different place their father also doesn't have any birthmarks

A friend of mine has a large port wine birthmark on his face, but his only child has no birthmarks.

Most babies are born with a small red strawberry birthmark called a "stork mark" on their face or neck. These usually fade in a couple of months.

I have a red birth mark on the back of my neck and so do my 2DDs, my DS was born with a red birth mark over his left eye and I was told it will fade and although it has faded to a light pink colour it is still visible

I have a large port wine birthmark on my face. My children do not have any of this type, although my eldest has a brown birthmark on her leg similar in position to one her Dad has.
