Or went through it? I just can't stop stressing about it.

Just came across this thread. I was informed after my 22 week ultrasound that DS had a cleft lip & possible palate. I know of one other mom here that has experience with this too if you need any questions answered

My mom went through this with me actually. I don't know when they first ultrasound they noticed was, or how far along she was. But at the follow up, I guess it had repaired itself at the last possible second. Or it was a mistake. I just have a weird palate but no one can really tell. My nostrils are shaped funny but you have to look up at them. It's an easy fix though. Even back in '93 they were prepared to set surgery before I was born. But never ended up needing it. Good luck.
