Ok, I was looking at my ultrasound picture
and his mouth look's akward, I know im
probably freaking out over nothing but im
worried about cleft lip. I know at 18
week's she told me that he didn't have it
and maybe it's just a glitch on the image
but im really freaking out!!! Since he
didn't have it before is he ok now? I'm
sorry guy's I know im a worry wort but I
am actually in tears :cry: maybe im just
worrying to much, after all she did say at
my 18 week u/s that he didn't have it.

Does any one in your family have a cleft
lip??? I'm sure you have nothing to
worry about. I think it's "baby's coming
soon" paranoia!!!

Nope..Knowone had it in my family or his.
I just talked with a woman at american
pregnancy and she told me if he didn't
have it then than he won't have it now,
that, that was something that is diagnosed
early in pregnancy. I think it is the
pre-term thing of labor getting closer. I
can only imagine how im gonna be when he
get's here! I guess we all go threw this,
I just want him to be very healthy and ok.
Thank you so much for your response, im
just a really big worry wort, i'll feel
much better when he get's here and I can
lay my eyes on him!! :d

wondered
that....? |
an u/s can show alot of things but no it
cant tell you for sure. They do have to
do other test for abnormalites, like what
they are doing right now for me. A high
resolution scan, some blood test need to
be done and etc. But no an u/s can not
indicate 100% that there is a cleft lip.
An u/s can also show the kidneys bladder
and the heart and etc. This is how they
check for functioning. They also check
that fat on the back of the babies neck to
indicate if the baby may have down
syndrome. If the fat is below a ertain
number then they send you for more
testing. The rest im not sure about this
is just what is going on with me right now
and I have asked alot of questions. I
hope I answered you

My little sister has a cleft lip, and they
told my mom at 19 weeks. That is
something that they definetly can see.
She is the most beautiful girl in the
whole world. They would have to tell you
if they saw something. I wouldnt stress
about it because there is nothing that can
be dome about it now. It would still be
your beautiful baby. Good luck, and if
your really worried about it then ask your
doctor about it.

The cleft lip would have to start around
the 4-5th week of pregnancy, and as such,
if it was not present earlier, it wouldn't
be present now. The u/s pictures are
just a snapshot, whereas the actual u/s
examination is an ongoing stream of
imaging that will show everything from
several angles.
I don't see anything for you to worry
about. If they found the lip to be
normal earlier, then it is still normal.
