I'm pregnant and I have a problem please help?
Okay I'm AA which means I didn't have sickle and my boyfriend is AS which means he has sickle trait. Does this mean that our child will have the trait or not. I know that it all depends on my genes and and his genes. And I know that which every gene is more stronger then the other. But both his sister's have SS which is sickle and all three of his nephews have sickle. I so know I can get the baby tested when he or she comes out. But in the mean time can someone with the right knowledge inform me of my child can or can not get the trait. Thank you

Generally, for your baby to get the trait you would both need to be carriers. As the baby takes genes from both parents it is highly unlikely that your baby will have the trait. However, your child could be a carrier of the gene as your partner is a carrier.
Hope this helped.
