What are the implications of the doctors seeing an enlarged kidney in an unborn baby?

Answer by  kimber18 (514)

My SIL had the same result, and went through a battery of testing, and worry, only to deliver perfectly healthy little girl. Enlarged kidney can mean too much fluid, not properly functioning, in addition to other complications. Ultrasounds can be misleading at times, even to the professionals, which in turn causes alot of worry to parents-to-be.

It could be a bad thing if your baby's kidney is enlarged. It sounds like they're going to look again to make sure though.
