Today, my gynae did a Nuchal Translucency scan on my baby. Everything looked fine but the baby’s kidney looked slightly dilated. There could be a blockage somewhere that prevents the urine from flowing. My heart was just crushed when my gynae told me that. I could see the baby sucking its thumb and it was very active and moving around. I would have to go back for another NT scan next week to check the bb’s kidney again. My dr said that in some babies, the problem is transient and during subsequent scans, the kidney would look normal in size again BUT if the problem is still there, then I’d need to do an Amnio test to check the chromosomes. My mind is blank now – I can only pray to God that he will have mercy on this baby.

I’m a 50+ mum of three grown daughters, now back in my beautiful hometown of Ipoh and slowly rebuilding a quieter, gentler life. After years between Ipoh and KL, I’ve returned to my roots to spend time with my parents in their 80s, my soul-healing cat, and the simple things that matter most. I blog and vlog about family life, home cooking, Ipoh food finds, and everyday moments that make this season of life meaningful.
I do product reviews and accept sponsored posts on my blogs.
I hope you'll enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy sharing my day-to-day adventures and mostly boring ranting :P
Thanks for being here. 💛

Wow! I like your template.
It is still early to worry anything. Take a good rest, sweetie *hugz*
ya.. take very good rest, dun be worry to much that will influence ur moods.. take k . GOD will listen to ur prayer.
That’s the same problem with my first pregnancy. My son’s kidney was dilated even when he was about to pop out from my stomach. The doctor said to be very careful and if the baby has a fever, bring the baby back to him as he’s afraid that it might be a reflux. Don’t worry too much, Shireen, it may be just the position that makes the kidney dilated. It’s too early to tell yet. Please take good care of yourself.
Take good care of yourself. I am sure everything wil turn out well
We’re all praying for you.
You and baby are both in our prayers. Hugs hugs.
HUGS and my prayers for you and your baby.
