hi. it is advised that ultrasound to be shown to some urologist preferably good in paediatrics(childern)
as you have stated that pelvis of both kidneys of fetal showslittle abnormality. it is advised that repeat the scan after every 4 weeks interval for comparing the size of renal pelvis.you should not be that worried as urologist can take care of your baby even in case urologist decide for operation named pyeloplasty.
