Abnormalities in growth u/s *update in comments*

Good morning ladies! It has been awhile since I've posted. Been getting the new house put together and feel like I have no free time at all!

Anyway, we had a growth ultrasound this morning and baby is measuring in 82nd percentile at 6lbs and 12 oz (I'm 34w5d) Geez. Big baby. My OB is not concerned about her size yet but saw something in her abdomen that she couldn't tell what it was. There were two black blobs under baby's kidneys that she said could be ovarian cysts or something else - she's not sure. She made an appointment for us at the fetal diagnostic clinic tomorrow since they have the heavy duty ultrasound machine and can see much more detail. OB didn't seem too concerned and told me not to google anything. Yeah right...

I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced something like this and how it turned out. My pgal brain is now in overdrive especially since I lost my first in January of last year. A lot of seasonal triggers. Thanks in advance for any insight ladies!

  • @dronkeygal. FX for you.  Do they think it may be fluid on her kidneys? This is usually a sign for renal reflux.  Not to worry alothough it sounds scary its not.  I had it as a child.  It usually goes away on its own and if no there is a minimal surgery that corrects it now.  Hoping its nothing serious.

    Thanks everyone. OB said her kidneys looked normal, but this wasn't on the best ultrasound machine in the world. I know I just need to wait until tomorrow but man it sucks thinking about something being wrong with your LO and there's nothing you can do about it!

  • T&P's for some good news! I agree with staying away from Google - during all of out trials and tribulations throughout this pregnancy, not freaking myself out helped me to remain positive and in the long run all we have is a small baby :)

  • Glad you only have to wait til today to find out what if anything it may mean. At my 20 week ultrasound the tech thought there was too much fluid in my son's frontal lobe both my MW and the resident OB had no concerns but the tech scheduled another us for us at 28 weeks, turned out everything was fine but that wait was excruciating! It's a game of shadows on ultrasounds so I'm hoping it's nothing at all for you as well!

  • They found something similar for my daughter. She had a dilated kidney around the same time. In the end it turned out to be okay and her left kidney is just a duplex kidney. Hang in there!!

    Will be thinking of you.  Although the fact the your OB wasn't too concerned is def something that hopefully sets your mind as ease a bit.

  • We found out right before Thanksgiving that our baby had a cystic kidney when a dark spot showed up during the regular ultrasound. I was sent to a high risk OB for a lvl 2 ultrasound to get a better look with two follow ups. I made the mistake of googling everything and it stressed me out so much which didn't help matters. I go for twice weekly testing just to monitor baby's heart rate and aniotic fluid since the kindey cysts haven't grown any larger. But it is a lot of waiting and seeing. I know that the kidney is cystic but we won't know exactly what the next steps will be until after baby is born. The waiting and uncertainty can be excruciating but knowing all I can do is follow doctor orders and take care of myself is best for baby. It may sound lame but I found it helpful so I hope it is comforting.

    Sending you lots of positive thoughts and warm wishes. I hope you get good news!!!

  • Thanks everyone! I'm getting a pedicure this morning and DH and I are going out on a fancy date night tonight to unwind. We definitely got ourselves stressed out over this. The one bonus is we got some adorable 3d pictures of our chubby baby. I'm obsessed with her cheeks!
