Pregnant after IF

Didn't get such great news yesterday

One of the baby's kidney's fluid shot up considerably, so we are now in hydronephrosis territory. It was consistent for weeks and weeks, so I don't understand how it's getting worse instead of better. On the bright side, AFI is great and everything looks okay otherwise. MFM was kinda meh, though they are watching it, but based on my research, it's less likely this is physiological, and more likely that it is pathological.

 I am just worried about loss of kidney function. Which we won't know until he's born. I just wished I could trade places with him and it was my stupid kidneys. I can handle it, but it breaks my heart that he will come into this world and have to go through a bunch of medical tests and procedures from the very beginning.

I could really use some good thoughts in the next few weeks that this dilation decreases. Oh, and because I have to AW my child, I am growing a little chunky monkey. He is now 4lbs13oz!

  • I'm sorry you didn't get better news.  Sending lots of T&Ps that things look better at your next scan and it was just a flukey measurement.  Great news about his weight!  I'm 3 weeks ahead of you and my little peanut is a full pound behind your chunky monkey!

  • Oh sweetie I know exactly how you feel. Brady had the same thing. Once he was born we had to have several ultrasounds and we met with a Pediatric Urologist. By the time he was six months the problem had resolved on its own. I hope everything works out and resolves itself. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thoughts and prayers!

    No, he didn't have that particular test done. Just monthly ultrasounds until he was six months old. We did meet with a Pediatric Urologist before he was born to discuss his care once he arrived. Speaking with the PU really made me feel better. I recommend getting in touch with one. It might ease some of your fears. I know it did for me.

  • I am so sorry to hear this.  Just wanted to let you know that a friend's DD has this.  It was looking just like what you described.  She was a wreck.  Especially not knowing whether or not her LO was going to have to need surgery to correct this or what the outcome would/could be.  I just wanted to give you a bit of hope.  Her DD did not have to get surgery.  She is on daily medication (just 1) that she must take to keep any risk of infection (pretty sure that is what it is for) down.  She does worry with any little spike in temp or when she is acting off.  They have not had any problems at all and she just had her 2nd birthday.

    T&Ps that your little chunky monkey has a very similar or better outcome!

  • Ugh, so stressful.  I'm sorry sweetie, I'm really hoping that things look better next time.  You are doing a great job and everything you can for your little guy!!
