Scan showed urine in her kidneys? any1 had this??
Hi!, I had my 20 week scan on friday and they found that my baby has to much urine in her kidneys(6.1mm when the normal is 5mm) i have been booked in for another scan at 32 weeks to measure it again and if it's still rising she'll need antibiotics when she's born!
They said that it won't cause her any long term damage! I was just wondering if anybody else has a baby with this or if anyone knows why it's happened??I've never heard of it before and am totally confused by it! surely the urine should be in her bladder?? sorry for blabbering on!! kayleigh x

In my first pregnancy when I had my 20 week scan it showed my son had fluid on his kidney, not too sure if it is the same thing but as they said when baby is born and if the urine is still there some antibiotics will be given. My son has not had any real major problems from when they discovered and treated the problem. Don' t worry in most cases it does clear up by itself, if not the antibiotics will do the trick. x
Yes my son was given antibiotics when I was discharged from hospital which was the normal overnight stay. He was not kept in, but for the first year I had to attend quite a few outpatient appointments to check his progress, as the kidney was slightly enlarged. I must admit I did refuse one test which they wanted to do when he was 6 weeks old simply because I felt he was too young, but it did not cause any problems later down the line.
You should be able to bring your little girl home as normal if the problem is still present at birth, but there should not be any major problems in the long run.:\)
Good luck with everything x
