Biologically the skin color of the fetus is determined by the genes that are inherited from the parents. The usually the genes that are dominant are responsible in determining the color of the fetus. However, as per your question healthy food is extremely important for the overall health of a person and a pregnant lady in particular for the health of the lady as well as for the health of the fetus. And the intake of certain eating stuff like saffron in milk are considered very good for the skin as well as blood of the fetus. Hence, even though the complexion of the skin of the fetus is determined by the genes that are inherited yet in take of highly nutritious food from the early stages of pregnancy helps in the supply of rich and pure blood to the fetus and thus it gets a fair complexion of the skin.

Drinking wine will have a serious problem to baby. Fetal alcohol syndrome will occur. You can eat nutritious food. You can take vitamin and calcium supplements. Color is determined by genes. No color is superior or inferior. A baby is a baby. God bless.
