i just have my 26 week ultrasound, only 2d is available in the clinic. it was a quick ultrasound, the sono doesnt even talk nor give an explanation . unfortunately my ob is not around that day coz shes on call. anyways, pls help me, can this be a cleft lip? my friends are asking me whats with the black line on his upper lip. im cant help myself but worry much :( , ill be seing my ob next week .
hope to hear from anyone of you. thanks.
Yes, it does look like one, my cousin had a clft palatte at birth and he had a similar ultra sound, but cleft palettes are usually not super serious and are easy to repair.
If anything, it looks incomplete (not very severe), but it could also be a distortion on the ultrasound. Did they give you any other pictures of the babies face? I know your first reaction is to worry, but try not to. My 2 year old DD was born with a cleft lip and palate, and is doing great! It's difficult to see your child go through surgeries, but we're on the other end of it now, and I wouldn't trade that little girl for anything in the world! Try not to worry about it too much!

I think you put the same picture down twice...

TGIF! What are you doing this weekend?
Are you a first time mom? If not, how many kids do you have?
