I just saw this post and I apologize for not responding sooner.

How are things going?

I went through this with my child. They found it during a routine pregnancy ultrasound. My child developed hydropnephrosis from UPJ obstruction. Had surgery at 3 months of age and is doing well now.

Hope everything is going OK.

Isis,
I am sorry you are so scared. I can understand what a horrible feeling that must be. This was posted I see, a few weeks ago. Have you seen a specialist yet? Have they told you anything to help lessen your fears?

I wish I had answer for you but I do not. But my prayers are with you.

pray for us
i went for my 24 week check up and was not told anuthing about my 20 week ultrasound. my afp test came back negative and i was feeling good. but a week after my appt. i got a message about an appointment with an ultrasound specialist. i thought nothing of it until i called the doctors office back and the nurse couldnt tell me anything. i got a hold of the doctor later and he told me my son shows enlarged kidney(s) he says it is in the variant of normal, but i cant help but be nervous. ive been surfing online and see that it could be a sign of Downe's. But my test came back negative. i also read that in most cases its nothing to worry about and that it will fix itself before delivery. all i'm asking for are your prayers. Thank You
