Shay also had this problem and like Alexander, they only picked it up on a 36 week ultrasound. They did a reflux test when he was 6 weeks old, which showed that his waste wasn't travelling back up to his kidney (good news) and he was on anti-biotics daily and given an ultrasound every 6 months until he was 4. His one kidney always developed a bit slower than the other, but he's now 14, strapping, healthy, very smart and not the least bit worse for wear.

I know we want our babies to not have anything wrong with them. We're mums after all. But I remember a pedeatric nurse saying to me when Shay was born that I shouldn't worry unless I got bad news. And honestly aside from 6 monthly visits to the hospital, not Shay's nor my life has been affected by this condition.

Good luck, my sweet.
