Best approach would be to modify your sperm instead of trying to
modify a fetus. Not only because it's ridiculously unethical to
"tweak" a person in ways that could screw them up for life if done
incorrectly (at least you can sanity check gametes prior to use..),
but because there is no effective 100% transformation system for whole
organisms, but there are systems known to lead to 100% gamete
transformation, if you're willing to radiation-ablate your gonads.

I think it goes without saying "don't do this, the technology isn't
there", but I'll just tag that onto the end regardless.
