Hey!  The doctor managed to scare us today!  I said YAY! I finally get something to latch onto to worry about.  God knows I’ve been far too laid-back about all this pregnancy stuff.

During our appointment/ultrasound 4 weeks ago, they said they noticed a cyst on his brain – something that’s apparently very common & resolves itself (since all of our genetic testing thus far had been negative.)   So I haven’t given it much thought.

Today, the midwife told me they’d were supposed to call me  to let us know that they’d noticed something else in the ultrasound, later – his kidneys are slightly dilated (renal hydronephrosis.)  She said, also, that this is pretty common & usually resolves itself, but I have to get another ultrasound in 7 weeks just to be sure.

Now, had they told us this at the same time they told us about the cyst, I’d not have worried.  But it didn’t feel as routine today & it was a “whoops, they should have called you,” thing, so now… I’m feeling a little anxious about it.  Though I googled, with a grain of salt, and everything points to “it will be fine.”  It also seems that this is “the most commonly detected anomaly,” so… most likely, nothing to worry about.
