Today i had a scan with a specialist and they confirmed that my son has a partial cleft lip. Any ladies here with experience that have had children with a cleft in the past? Im just feeling worried and scared.
@raqueliiosiis, my 20 week ultrasound. We only knew about her cleft lip. Not the rest until I had her.
@wm_pink, with the cleft palate yes. But there are special bottles called the haberman special needs feeders that work wonders. But honestly they won’t be able to tell about a cleft palate on an ultrasound.
@wm_pink, hmm okay I’ll be 18/6 tomorrow so I’ll probably bring it up. Thank you.
also there’s this page on Instagram that belongs to a mom with twins, one with a cleft her IG is @shesdeedash if you have an Instagram you should check her page out.
@raqueliiosiis, they check for All that when they do your scan. Mine was detected at 18 weeks 6 days
@damn.it.red, was it hard feeding her? Thats what im mostly worried about
@damn.it.red, when did they find out she had a cleft? I’ve been reading so much it’s one of my concerns to bring up tomorrow at my appt but Idk if it’s too soon to tell.
Also OP sorry for hijacking your post
Yep. My daughter was born with a unilateral cleft lip, full cleft palate and a cleft in her upper jaw.
cleft palate
So I found out last week at my ultrasound my twins have cleft palets and cleft lips. And I also found out because of that I probably won't be able to breastfeed which I'm really sad about. But does anyone have any advice on cleft. I'm a part of a Facebook group and they help alot. they will both have to have alot surgeries. It's going to be hard the first year or 2. And also I'm worried about my son not getting the attention he needs
breastfeeding help
So I'm pregnant with twins and was planning on breastfeeding like I did with my son. But we just found out they both have cleft palet and cleft lips. I'm doing the amnio to see if there's any other problems. But since they have the cleft issues am I going to be able to nurse? Not sure if anyone knows about the cleft lips but u guys r the best about breastfeeding

This is the ultrasound of my son and i want to know if you guys see a cleft lip? The tech said he didnt really show his face and they think he has a cleft lip but i see him normal.
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
@damn.it.red, oh okay my friend has a baby with a cleft palate and i see how she feeds her with a special bottle
