congrats!!! so happy to hear you have a healthy little bubba in there!

can i ask what causes clefting?

[Pretty Butterfly]

Clefting..... sometimes heritary, but often not.

Is also associated with many syndromes too, like Pierre Robin Sequence or Down's. We have no family hisory of it, and have many children, so Kane was probably just a once off.
At 6-8 weeks, bubbas facial bones come together, (they are in two parts, down the middle), and in some cases, they dont join up correctly, leaving a cleft in the face. It can be just in the lip, palate and gum line. Kane had all 3, known as a Complete
Unilateral Cleft (one sided).

They say taking extra Folate can help, so I takle 5mg not .5 mg in each pregnancy.
