Are full bladder and small kidney tubes normal in 20 week fetus?
Patient: I went for my 20 week scan today and found out I was having a little girl. I am English and having my baby in Spain so there is a little language barrier sometimes. As far as I could understand they said my baby had a full bladder and it should not be full. They also mentioned they would be keeping a eye on her kidney s as the tubes running to the kidney s are a little small. Is this normal? Doctor: Hi and welcome to healthcare magicsingle ultrasonography showing a full bladder should not worry you much. You are having a girl. Commonly boys may have a full bladder because of a birth defect (posterior urethral valve) which causes difficulty in passing urine.Regarding short ureters a repeat scan at 22-24 weeks will give a clearer picture.Please do get back to me if you have any more questions
