She is 2.5 and this is the first time I’ve noticed it. Just googled ‘double uvula’ and seen it can be linked to aneurysms and I’m worried now...should I speak to a dr about it? Or just ignore it?!

Well I did not know this was a thing! Although I could have done without seeing the picture a google search brought up of someone’s uvula piercing!

I would phone and book a telephone consultation with the Dr, just so they can either put your mind at rest or invite you in to give DD a check up. It will only play on your mind if you don’t speak to the GP, you are already worried so it would be worth having a chat so they can reassure you. Maybe see if you can take a photo in case they want you to text one in so they can decide if they are happy the way the palate looks without having to get you down to the surgery.

My brother has this. His son was then born with cleft lip and a heart problem. Both of which have been solved and he is fit and well. It seems they can be related. So definitely worth having it notes for her medical records. My brother has always been fit and well too.

I was born with a bifid, cleft palate and hole in Heart and narrow heart valve. The bifid and cleft not diagnosed until I was 10 years old.

Off to google I had to idea a bifid signified anything.
