Hello All
At my 20 week scan I was told that my baby has a left dilated renal pelvic which as it was described to me was the tube which connects the kidney to the bladder was slightly dilated which could be caused by some sort of blockage. Anyway i was told not to worry and id be rescanned at 28 weeks to check on it.
So ive been for my 28 weeks scan and its now dilated even more, the measurement is 8.2mm. Ive still been told not to worry because they will probably give the baby antibiotics when he's born and that should clear it up but this still doesnt stop my mind from racing. Ive also been researching it on the internet and have read that it can be a soft marker for Downs Syndrome which has really panicked me. Has anybody else had any experience of this? Ive been told time and time again that its really common but ive never heard of it before!!
