hydronephrosis moms post

Hi Ladies,

So yesterday we took Lily for an ultrasound... I must say that this time was a bit harder, not so much emotionally, but the last time she had an ultrasound she was about a month old, this time she's 4 months old so she moved around alot, which made the technician's job harder, DH and I tried to hold her, but she's a strong little girl. All and all, she did shed a few tears, but she quickly settled down as soon as we gave her her bottle.

Now the hardest part is waiting for the results... Our appointment with the urologist is on the 13th. As a mom I wish that next Wednesday the urologist would tell us that Lily's "condition" has resolved itself, and that they might just do another ultrasound in a few months to make sure everything is still ok, chances are this is not what will be said on Wednesday... I'm emotionally ok with the urologist telling us that her condition is still the same... but what scares me, and makes me want to cry everytime I think about it is the fear that the urologist will tell us that her condition has gotten worse... I know it's not the end of the world... I just dont want Lily to suffer

  • My LO doesn't have hydronephrosis but you all are in my T&Ps!

  • when i was 37 weeks pg they told us landon had that on his right side. they also said he had gallstones. he had u/s at 2 days, 1 month, and 3 months old, and now both are gone. the dr said most hn cases go away on their own once babies grow and the ureters move around.
  • We all hope it goes down. Unfortunately it is a valid and real concern. From his 2 week ultraound to his 2 month one one side got a little worse. So I am also worried that he could be on a downward slope. I hate waiting for the results of the ultrasounds. Our urologist scheduled his next one so that it is a couple hours before his appointment, that way he can read it while we are there. Maybe ask if you could do that next time?

  • I am one of the ones that was talking about hydronephrosis a few weeks ago. LO's condition hadn't changed at all in the 6 weeks between appts so the Dr. gave us the option of surgery to correct the problem or to continue to monitor it. We decided to monitor it and we go back in 2 months to have another U/S. I hope for you and your LO's sake that the condition hasn't worsened and has either corrected itself or stayed the same for now. If it hasn't changed consult your doctor to see if they would agree to just keep an eye on it rather than rushing surgery. My dr said that a lot of time as the child grows the space grows and allows the blockage to pass on its own. I will be thinking of you all and will be stalking the boards for an update.
