Will a child have a cleft lip if the mother has a bad temper during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

During this period, I was particularly irritable and haded twice in big rages. Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been received. What kind of help do you want to get: Is the child likely to have a cleft lip? I am very worried, please reply, thank you!!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, frequent anger and irritability during early pregnancy will not affect the fetus's risk of having cleft lip and palate, nor will it affect the fetus's intelligence. Fetal cleft lip and palate are issues related to the fetus's own development. A two-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound can clearly visualize the fetus's mouth and lips.
It is recommended that you have a two-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound at a municipal hospital, typically between the 5th and 7.5th weeks of pregnancy. As long as the fetus's position is good, the lips can be clearly observed. It becomes more difficult to see the lips once the fetus is larger. Cleft palate is generally harder to detect. Regarding the fetus's intelligence, a Down syndrome screening between the 16th and 20th weeks of pregnancy can rule out chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus.
