Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2007 2:33 pmHi! Congrats on your gf's pregnancy! What a happy time for the both of you!
My son Ethan has a incomplete unilateral cleft lip. His pallate is in tact. At our 20 week ultrasound, the ultrasound technician suspected that our son had a cleft lip/pallate. However, throughout the entire pregnancy, he had his hands over his face. At 34 weeks, we did another ultrasound and it was confirmed that he had a cleft lip. They couldn't see the pallate either. So we hoped for the best. Thankfully, his pallate was fine.
Ethan's surgery is next week Wednesday. He's 3 months old now (14 weeks), and we are expecting great things.
If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask! I'll be happy to answer them!
