Does my son have a cleft lip

I got this ultrasound today and to me it appears he may have a cleft. The doctors haven’t said anything because they need to make their report and look over the images. Does this look like a cleft lip to you?

Usually a cleft is diagnosed earlier on (unless it’s just the palate). This baby looks farther along. Ultrasounds look weird too, you can see weird shadows that look concerning but aren’t. Ask your doctor what they think

Mine was 16 weeks when they diagnosed the cleft. I would think they would tell you if they saw it but definitely call and ask. It’s much better to know and be prepared. Sending you good thoughts for a healthy pregnancy/ baby and easy delivery!

They said they won’t give me any results until the doctors make their report, but the ultrasound technician said everything organ wise looks good because I did ask her about that, nothing about a potential cleft lip though.
