When I had my 20 week ultrasound it showed that my baby had slightly enlarged kidneys, they were still within normal limits but larger than usual. Also the vessels going in/out of the kidney were slightly dilated. My OB said it is nothing to worry about and they are going to follow up with an ultrasound at 28 weeks to see if this has resolved (which is in a few days). I am just wondering if anyone has any information to share about a similar experience and how it turned out for them?
Also they couldn't tell what the sex of the baby was because it had it's legs crossed and pulled up to it's chest, I've heard enlarged kidneys are more prevalent in males-any truth to this?

They told me that with my last baby. They also told me he would have kidney problems. He doesn't have any problems with his kidneys. Just wait until after the baby is born and take him to a specialist if you are still concerned.

enlarged kidneys can be a symotom of some develomental problems, but 9 out of 10 times its nothing. It happen to my sister, the baby was fine, it happened to 2 friends, their babies were fine. Luckily, most problems can be taken car e of easily as well. Don't worry about it!!
