Saw a video about this and now im a little tense honestly. Im in my first trimester. What actually causes it, is it something we do or just happens? Anyone knows.
I agree, it is mostly genetic or random and nothing you did. Just make sure to take your prenatal vitamins on time and talk to your doctor if you have family history.
After my C-section, I realized how much we worry about every little thing during those 9 months. Cleft lip is usually due to a mix of genetics and environmental factors, not because of anything you did wrong. Just take your doctor-prescribed vitamins and rest well.
It's often linked to genetic factors or sometimes nutritional gaps like lack of folic acid in the very early weeks. I made sure to stay active with light walks and yoga after checking with my doc, and took all my prenatal vitamins on time. Taking care of your overall health is the best you can do.
Hey, don't stress too much about these things, seriously! It's mostly a mix of genes and sometimes random factors, nothing to do with your normal daily routine. Just take your folic acid regularly as told by your doctor and enjoy your pregnancy, okay?
I know how frightening these thoughts can be when you are expecting, especially after a long journey like IVF. Cleft lip is just a developmental issue that can happen sometimes due to genes or environment, and it is absolutely not your fault. Sending you so much love and strength.
