Prominent renal pelvis in fetus

Hi,

Im not normally one to worry, but this is the first time I've been told something isnt perfect in a pregnancy. Im on my 5th baby and I had a growth scan yesterday at 28+6 and the sonographer said babys renal pelvis is prominent at 10.8mm on left and 9mm on right.

Ive googled it and known it can rectify itself and I have a scan booked in for 4 weeks time... just wondering if anyone's had any experience of this?

Yes! I’m currently 26 weeks and on my 20 weeks scan they said my girl had a dilated renal on right side 8mm but left was fine 🤞🏻 I was worried so I spoke to a consultant after phoning the midwife afterwards as I didn’t understand fully what it meant. The consultant reassured that’s there’s plenty of time for this to become normal and that I will have another scan at 32 weeks to check this.

I think it’s common but I haven’t seen anyone else post about this on here so not sure. It’s has made my anxiety worse but guess you can’t do anything untill baby is here.

I wouldn’t worry if you can most of the time they sort themselves out x

I have this and also had it with my first baby after 3 scans turned out they weren’t actually measuring the correct thing and one his kidneys was in his pelvis. He is a healthy little boy now. Try not worry usually rectifies itself x

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.

Baby due

My baby is due April 22 what should I put in my hospital bag
