Hello moms. I was just told a week or two ago im a high risk pregmancy. I was also just told Monday afternoon my baby girl may have a cleft lip. Im getting referred to UCSF to find out for sure. I know it can be fixed and i do not care if she does shes my baby girl. But i am scared of what can happen. I am trying my best not to stress but holding it all in isnt helping either. I am just wanting to break down and cry. I do not knkw what to do. Any advice?

My friend just had a baby boy with cleft lip and palate. He is doing great. They bought a special long nippled bottle for him. She is pumping for it. He will have surgery for the lip at 3 months and for the palate at a year. Is the cleft lip what makes you high risk? Babies who just have a cleft lip can often breastfeed but not so much if the palate is cleft as well. You're baby will be beautiful no matter what.

No what makes me high risk is my genetic disorder. My dr had told me a second pregnancy could be hard for me or the baby so they put me as a high risk.
