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?

    @Mama21215 do you know why you're high risk? UCSF is a great hospital! I hope they can give you more answers! Fingers crossed everything turns out fine!

    @mama21215 I am going through the exact same thing. At my 20w scan, they believe they saw a cleft lip and identified some dilation in the kidneys (which may or may not be an issue). Due to this I'm now high risk and will be seeing a specialist in the next week to assess if there is anything else we need to be prepared for. I understand your stress and just hoped u can find some peace till you get more answers. I stayed up researching stuff online and it actually made me feel a little better as most cleft lip/palates are just that and it is repairable. I'm so sorry that you are going through this, I know it has been a shock for me. Hang in there and take good care of yourself. Sending love and prayers your way.

    Its even more hard on my SO cause he was born with a cleft lip and his biggest fear was passing it down to our children and it just happened to be our last if she does have it.

    I had a loss before this and feel like I get much better care from my high risk specialist, I also get more ultrasounds! So although it can be stressful, you will get more frequent doctor's visits and more ultrasounds to see your beautiful baby girl. I'm a worrier, but seeing a specialist has actually helped me relax a little because I feel like my baby's in such good hands.

    I'm 38 weeks and was a high risk my entire pregnancy. The good thing is, you will be monitored very closely ( which you will definitely appreciate) . My high risk doctors have been the best so far. Just remind yourself its their job to tell you all the possible outcomes. I cried for weeks at the beginning of my pregnancy, after being told theres a chance my baby would have a birth defect. I obviously haven't had him yet, but the further I got in my pregnancy the percentage has decreased, and I'm so much more at ease now! Try to relax as hard as it may be.
