It is impossible to predict what will happen with one person!
In a population of 2,000 people, 1,000 women have sickle cell trait and 1,000 men do not. They marry. Each couple has 2 children. 1,000 children will have sickle cell trait and 1,000 children will not.
In a population of 2,000 people, 1,000 women have sickle cell trait and 1,000 men have sickle cell trait. They marry. Each couple has 2 children. 1,000 children will have sickle cell trait, 500 children will not, and 500 children will have sickle cell anemia.
No one knows which of those parents will produce which children. No one knows how to predict how your children will turn out.

What would happen to a baby in the womb if the mother has sickle cell disease and the father has the sickle cell trait?
If both parents are trait carriers the chances of them having a child WITH sickle cell is 4 to 1. Probability says, 1 will not carry the trait OR have sickle cell, 2 will be trait carriers and 1 will have it. But Keep in mind that every time you have a child its like rolling dice. I have heard of people where all four kids have the disease. and i have 2 children with the disease and 1 that's normal.
