Please see photo. There is a line on the upper lip in a few photos. Could this be a possible cleft lip?

What gestation is that? NHS specifically check for cleft lip at 20 week scan so you would know after that

@chillichutneysarnie it's 19 weeks. Yes, I'll get an answer at my anomaly scan. I wondered if people had seen similar on their own scans.

Does anyone with any experience have insight?

I have a child with a cleft lip. It’s not obvious from a profile scan. The sonographer has to view the face of the baby to see if there is a gap in the lip/palate. It would be visible at this gestation so the sonographer would have picked up on it if was there. X

Nope, it's just the nature of 2d scan that things look a bit grainy etc.
It's a really big over-analyse, are you anxious generally or some reason specifically to be extra worried about it? Your midwife can offer some support.
The 20 week anomaly scam will have a really good look at baby's development but they need to look face on to see this.
