"When I found out my baby was going to be born with cleft lip and palate I was 20 weeks pregnant at our anatomy scan. I knew going into this appointment how important it was and I was so scared. The doctors told my boyfriend and I they found cleft lip and palate, they immediately started questioning our genes, what medications I've taken during my pregnancy, and so on. I was completely devastated.
As a first time mom, to hear something so scary and to be questioned all these things by the doctor made me so upset. but I knew in my heart I wanted to have my baby girl and we would love her however she looked! We knew there would be medical procedures down the road but we would always be there.
20 weeks later my beautiful baby girl was born at 7 pounds 1 oz., in the perfect percentile! Fast forward to her being almost 5 months old, she has gotten her lip repair. We are so grateful we have been able to do this for her. She is the sweetest, happiest, and loving little girl. Cleft lip and palate babies are beautiful and so strong."
