Kidney problems

Anyone experience any problems during pregnancy with the babies kidneys. Doctors told me the right kidney was not working at all at the 20 week scan, and last week scan the said the left kidney has reflux on it, I'm very concerned will my baby now need to have manger surgery when born, or have to go on dialysis. They doctor was not very good at explaining it to me just told me to come back this week for another scan, all he said was they mite introduce me early if the reflux is still on the left kidney

At the 20 week scan on my little boy they found he had a duplex right kidney. When he was born he had to have an ultrasound to check to see what the exact issue was he was immediately put into an antibiotic to prevent kidney infections which he still takes daily! He was referred to temple st and has had numerous tests and ultrasounds done to check how well both kidneys were working and if there was any reflux with either! they wanted to leave him until he was two to see how he copes with it! Thankfully he has never had a kidney infection and has just turned two so he will be rechecked soon! He may need surgery one day but for now we just have to wait and see! I know it’s so hard not to worry when you hear something is wrong but it’s great that they actually detected the issue on the scan and they will be prepared to treat your baby as soon as they arrive! On these checks they can’t be 100% sure until the baby is born so please god the left kidney is working better than they think❤️

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Tips for babies with wind issues

My 5 week old has always had issues bringing up all his wind. When he’s laying on his back, he’s always grunting in pain to the point he cries and wakes himself up.

Spoke with a qualified physio who’s also qualified in baby massage and she said try concentric circles on baby. Small circles with a little pressure on their right (your left when facing you) from the bottom of their tummy up to their ribs and then going to the other side and doing the same. Then do the usual leg exercises with them (bicycle kicks, air squats, rotating them side to side etc)

I’ve also found this really helps doing it on my LBs back. I either use my thumb or two fingers when he’s up against me. I do both sides from bottom to top in small circles. He moves around and makes the grunting noises when I first do it but burps come out and after about 4/5 times he stops moving around or grunting at all and it’s meant he’s actually slept on his back and not had to cosleep!

Oh boy 😯

Happy 31st to me lol yikes 😬
