my baby has a dilated kidney...

Posted by Jen |

Ok, so i went in for my normal appt today...

had been having a ton of contractions this weekend thought it was probably due to dehydration but just to be on the safe side we did a cervical exam which showed my cervix was long and closed...GREAT SIGN!

I also went up for a NST - non stress test...nothing...no problems...

Also had an FFN test to determine whether I was in preterm labor...came back negative...

BUT while i was in my doctors office were were going over the charts with the nurse and she mentioned something about a dilated kidney...she said she hadn't read the whole chart over so she wasn't sure if it was my dilated kidney or the baby's that they had done in my 20 week ultrasound...well noone had ever mentioned anything of the sorts to us about that at our last visit...so needless to say we were a bit concerned...she read over the charts some more and found it to be the baby's kidney.

SOOOO, we have to go back for an ultrasound on the baby as soon as next week to do a checkup on it...

I have been reading online and the majority of posts keep saying it is a marker for downs, but there are no other indications...

just worried...

please keep us updated. I hope everything will turn out fine. Eli has a heart condition, so I know how unnerving going for that second ultrasound can be. Love to you!!!
