Hi all, I'm feeling so I have just had my 20 week scan and one kidney is 10mm the other 6.4mm but the enlarged one also has a blocked and swollen tube. I have checked for messages on mn and found some relief that some of you have been through this and everything was ok.
It's just so horrible thinking that something is wrong and you can't do anything to fix it.

We've been refered to newcastle RVI on tuesday (a 6 hour round trip, but I'm not bothered as long as they have the specialist care there) So I hope we will get more answers with a 3d scan. Anyone had one?

The worst part is feeling so bad that I might have done something to hurt the baby, I'm thinking of every cup of coffee and that glass of wine twice a week I've allowed myself since 16 weeks pg. Caffeine especially is kidney related, I've had 2 mugs a day. I'm not having any more that's for sure, but do you think it could be related? (sorry if I'm sounding slightly hysterical)

Agree with NAB3. 22 months is when they start to get 'concerned' in most health authorities

Lizzer, I'd have posted my story if I'd seen this earlier... it's the same as the majority here, renal dilatation picked up at 20 wks. They scanned DS again after birth and the problem had resolved itself

Sounds like your doc has put your mind at rest... hope the rest of your pregnancy is nice and uneventful.
