Ultrasound showed cleft lip
Posted: Tue Nov 11, 1997 10:42 pm
We are frightened. We are 19 weeks along due in April. We are
profesionals in our low 30's. We found out today that our child
has a cleft lip and one club foot. The palet is their and the
cleft is on one side. We cried on and off all day and are very
upset. This is our second child. Our first child was born free of
any defects and neither of us has any family history of defects.
How did this happen? We will be going to Spokane for a second
look and genetic counseling. Did we do something wrong? Is it our
fault? Will this child be teased in school? What do we do? Will
it be able to nurse?
