Hey i am 21 weeks pregnant and got my l2 scan done yesterday. There's some findings in my ultrasound one is echogenic focus in heart and fetal bilateral renal pelvis dilation. So we went to a mfm specialist she said main issue Is feral bilateral renal pelvis dilation in which right pelvis is 8mm and left is 9mm. She suggested me to wait for another 2 weeks and she'll do scan if the dilation is more than 10 mm then she'll suggest that I I should go for termination. I don't want she said after birth baby will have issues with his/her kidney and will suffer o don't want that too. I'm hell scared please give some advice my dual marker nipt ntnb all are normal

Your unborn child is suffering from antenatal hydronephrosis. At 21 weeks the renal pelvic diameters are more and it will be classified as UTD A-2 .

Renal pelvis dilation and an isolated heart marker like this are common findings picked up on scans. Your MFM specialist's plan to recheck in two weeks is the right approach.
Next Steps
Keep the follow-up scan your specialist already scheduled, since these numbers can change and one reading isn't the final picture.
Health Tips
Please hold off on any decision about your pregnancy until that repeat scan and specialist review are done.
