Looking for reassurance

Hey mamas. So looking for past experience of this and trying to understand the likely outcome. I’m 35 weeks + 4 days, and baby’s Kidneys were picked up on the Anatomy scan at 20 weeks as having excess fluid in 1. A few weeks later the excess fluid switched to other side. Now at 35 weeks the fluid is approaching 15ml on each kidney.

Will baby need to be delivered early?
Will baby be okay to hold in there to 40 weeks?
What was your experience of this once they arrived / treatment etc.

can I ask. How you found out a few weeks later after the 20 week scan that they had grown? I’m 23 weeks and at my 20 week scan baby girls 1 kidney is dilated but they won’t check/ offer another scan untill 32 weeks and I’m going out of my mind :(

hi Sophie! Poor bubba, sorry you had to go through this and I hope your little man is gonna do well 🫶✨✨
How did the MAG3 test go? Catheter in his arm? We have this tomorrow and just trying to gather info as to how it goes for newborns as it surely sounds very intense.

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲
