Is a cleft palate Genetic?
I was born with a cleft palate because I was premature at birth, and my mother was diabetic. She did not take car of herself at all her sugars were unstable all the time, so they had to take me at 27 weeks. I was 2 pounds and 9 ounces, and I had a cleft palate, club foot, one leg was 1 1/2 inches shorter than the other, an open valve in my heart, and had to have surgery on some other things, the docs were not sure if I would make it, and said if I did I might be mentally retarded, or something similar, and that I might not be able to have kids. I'm 18 now, and pregnant. I had tons of surgeries over the years, but I no longer have a short leg, club foot, open valve in my heart, I have a bridge so that I have front teeth, and I'm not mentally retarted. I have turned out just as the doctors thought I wouldn't....normal. But here is my question. Could my baby have any of these things? My Doc wants to do a scan to make sure the baby doesn't have a cleft palate. should I be worried?
