SAWhen I went for my anomaly scan around 21 weeks, I thought it would just be a routine check.
But things didn’t go as expected.
During the scan, the doctor could examine almost everything except the kidney area, because my baby was not in the right position.
I was asked to walk, have sweets and come back.
Even after multiple attempts, one kidney was still not visible. Doctors feared that it’s not there at all.
The next day I went again early morning. After 2 scans finally they could see the kidney in a trans vaginal scan. This time the doctor said the kidney looked very very small, which completely broke my heart. My gynaecologist referred to Bangalore Fetal Medicine Centre, an advanced diagnostic centre.
There they examined the baby in detail for almost 1.5 hours.
Thankfully the specialist confirmed that both kidneys were present.
The difference in size was because the liver sits close to the right kidney, which can sometimes make it appear smaller or hidden during scans depending on the baby’s position.
That week was one of the most stressful weeks of my pregnancy, but it also taught me that scans can sometimes look scary before the full picture is clear.
If you’re going through something similar — take a deep breath.Sometimes it’s just the baby’s position during the scan.
