Hydronephrosis in pregnancy

Rylee

Hi mommas! Need advice, this is my first pregnancy (25weeks) and I was informed that I have Hydronephrosis (swelling of a kidney due to a build-up of urine. It happens when urine cannot drain out from the kidney to the bladder from a blockage or obstruction). They assume that baby is putting pressure on my kidney and it has caused it to be blocked. I have a follow up ultrasound in a few weeks to see if my kidney is still swelling. They did not give me much advice for how to manage the symptoms for kidney blockage. This involves lack of urine output, abdominal pain and major discomfort. Any other moms that have had this condition during pregnancy?
