The kidney swelling on your baby's scan is usually followed up with a repeat scan, since a single reading doesn't tell the full story. How it looks over the next few weeks matters more than this one scan.
Next Steps
Please ask your gynaecologist about a repeat scan timeline and whether a fetal medicine specialist should review your case too.
Health Tips
Please don't decide on ending your pregnancy without a second opinion from a fetal medicine specialist first.
