Pregnancy Info HOME

i had my 20 week sonogram and found out my baby has a cleft lip and palate. I am devastated to say the least. I did take a few xanax, not consecutively in the month prior to finding out i was pregnant. If i knew what i know now i would have had them look earlier for these types of birth defects, it can be detected early if they look for it. The doctors will always tell you not to worry becasue you are already pregnant and they dont want you to stress about something that they know if it happened it has already happened and there is nothing you can do about it anymore. The lip and palate are the most common defect due to when the palate closes which would be the 4th to the 8th weeks when most people dont know they are pregnant like me. I am not afraid of the cleft lip, i am concerned about he cleft palate, and any other 150 syndroms they say are associated with it, and long term side affects associated with it. If anyone has any more info for me i would greatly appreciate it.
