Swollen kidney of baby in the womb
I had any second trimester anamoly scan which shows a swollen kidney of my baby of size around 5.8mm. Radiologist told me that sometimes such things resolve on its own before baby's birth and if in case the size doubles in next scan then further investigation has to be done.
I am jst too worried. I have a child already who is 6 years old and is completely normal.
Will it cause any danger to my unborn baby? And what precautions to follow ?

Your guess is as good as anyone else's. In such cases you only have to wait and watch. As your Sonologist has mentioned that only time will tell if there is any problem at all.
Hope for the best.
