Laura2012 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Hi there. I am expecting a baby in March, and she has been diagnosed with a cleft lip and palate. I was just wondering whether anyone else in the area has or is having a cleft baby - if so, would be great to swap notes! Laura x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmoon249 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 hi Laura- I've sent you a PM. Our daughter is now 3 and I have only praise for the South Thames Cleft Services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry77 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi there,I gave birth to my daughter in November and she has a bilateral cleft lip and palate. Similarly, I have nothing but praise for the Cleft team at St Thomas's. They have made the whole experience much easier and it's all far less scary than I imagined. I will PM you also with my details. Kerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edanna Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 We also have experience of the cleft service, though my daughter's issue wasn't diagnosed until some time after birth. As the others have said they are amazing - you will have access to so many different experts who will help your baby and you every step of the way. Everyone there is lovely and will really listen to your feelings and needs as a parent and help you to make informed choices. Lots of luck.

Laura2012 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Thanks for all of the messages. So nice to know that the S Thames cleft service is so highly regarded, it sounds like we're in very safe hands, but good to know there are local parents I can turn to for advice too if needs be! Thanks again, Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
