Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for more than three months. My friends have given birth to children with cleft lips, and I am also very concerned about the development and health of the fetus. I plan to do an ultrasound check in a couple of days.What kind of help I want: Can cleft lip be detected during pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, most cases can be carefully examined. It is said to be most cases rather than all because the careful examination for cleft lip is done through ultrasound or 4D color Doppler ultrasound. In most cases, doctors can infer how the fetus may have a cleft lip. However, some fetuses may be affected by the mother's own physical condition, the position of the fetus in the uterus, and the state at that time. Overall, it is still related to differences between doctors and different instruments.
