20 week anomaly scan
Hi everyone,
I'm just looking for some experience really, I had my 20 week anomaly scan today and they could only find one kidney for my baby boy, they said his other kidney looks great and will more than likely compensate for both, and they were happy to see his bladder working, obviously because its my baby I just automatically worry.
The sonographer and consultant said it can be very normal and alot of people are born with only one kidney.
I'm being referred to a different hospital to the fetal medicine unit for further testing, but i was just wondering if anyone has had a previous baby with this and everything has been ok?
Thanks
Xx

I haven't had the same anomaly found but when we had ours they told us that our boy has a problem with his heart.
I can't help on the kidney issue but just wanted to say I know how crushing it is to hear that there is something that isn't 'perfect', and it is a really shock. But hopefully someone who has had the same issue can reassure you soon x
I'm sorry to hear about your boy, how is he doing? Do you mind me asking wjats wrong with him x
With mine they said that his aorta is not where is normally should be luckily we saw a heart specialist the following day and I was a bit more reassured that they will now wait until he is born to do a scan about 5 weeks old to see if they'll do surgery. They mentioned a link to chromosome abnormality but I didn't want them to test for that. What will be will be x
Its definitely only natural to worry as like you said you just want everything to be perfect with them, no matter how much reassurance you get.
When are you due your baby? I hope everything goes ok for you lot ❤
My due date is Sept 17th, can't believe I am 30 weeks tomorrow!! Thank you x

Sending 💖 and the very best wishes xx
