20 week anomaly scan - RPD?

Had my anomaly scan and one of babies kidneys is measuring 7mm and the other is 6mm. They have booked in for a rescan at 32 weeks to measure the kidney that is 7mm as this is on the border of being larger that it should be. Notes say renal pelvic dilation and was simply told not to stress as it’s apparently common. Has anyone else had this and it has corrected itself at the later scan?

My child had it. Not picked up until growth scan at 38 weeks. He had a couple of scans at a few weeks old then a few months old. By then it had corrected itself.
They assured us it wasn't anything to worry about but he did take prophylactic antibiotics for the first 3 months to prevent him from getting a UTI

@Mynotsoperfectlittlefamily thank for for responding I’m glad your little one is now ok and it corrected itself. Guess I will have to wait and see hopefully these 12 weeks go by fast

A normal size for a kidney at the anomaly scan is up to 7mm. So you really are just on the border and could likely be that the baby just hadn't emptied its bladder recently enough. About 80% of RPD in pregnancy correct themselves before birth. Of the remaining 20% a third with fix on their own after birth and some will half will stay the same. So only a tiny amount are affected long term

I really hope so that’s sounds a lot more reassuring than what I’ve read which I know is the worst thing to do. Just seems a very long time to wait but on the plus side I’m trying to think it gives baby more time where it hopefully corrects itself.

Thanks again!
