Cliff lip

When I was 28 weeks the doctors told me that they seen in my ultrasound that my baby girl will be born with a cleft lip.. I'm only 23 years old I'm 32 weeks now but everyday I think about it scares me a lot.... the doctor is saying that when the baby comes they gotta check to see if the baby has a  cleft palate as well. I pray to God that she doesn't have it that comes with a lot surgery.. they keep telling me is fine with smiles on their face I don't find this funny at all
They telling me is nothing that I did wrong. They say one out of a hundred babies come out with a cleft lip or cleft palate and sometimes both... don't know what to think at this point and I have 8 more weeks to go...

Not sure if you've seen it, but here us a video going around Facebook about one of the duck dynasty guys who's daughter was born with one. Check it out, it may help. Also if it is, the surgeries are really good for it. A baby went through it that was our roommate at children's hospital when my daughter had to have her tonsils and adnoids removed at 18 months old.
