I'm hoping to get some clarity about something that came up in my sister's recent ultrasound. It mentioned a mild prominence of the bilateral pelvicalyceal system. I'm a bit concerned about what this actually means for the baby and how serious it could be. She's currently 6.5 months pregnant, and I'm wondering if there are any steps we should be taking at this point. Any advice would be appreciated!

mild prominence of bilateral pelvicalyceal system is typically not serious and often resolves naturally. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor for ongoing monitoring to ensure the babys kidneys are developing properly. After birth, if necessary, the baby may undergo further tests to assess kidney function.

I'm six months pregnant and I've noticed that at night, my baby seems to move to the left side of my stomach. I can actually feel something round, like the baby's head, and sometimes it feels like the baby is pushing, which can be a bit uncomfortable. Is it normal for the baby to settle on one side of the stomach like this? Would really appreciate your help!

it is normal
