The diametrical values that you have mentioned in the particular period of gestation is near normal. Important things to remember is to have confinement of pregnancy in a place where there is good neonatal care. The child has to undergo a Ultrasound of Abdomen to assess the pelvic diameter. Based on the findings, further evaluation needs to be done. If the kidney swelling is bilateral, the vesicoureteric reflux and infra vesical obstruction needs to be ruled out
