Hello, thanks for posting on HCM.
Yes, the swelling developing on the eyelids is due to the hydronephrosis in kidney. Normally some amount of hydronephrosis is seen due to pressure of fetus on ureters but it gets better once baby is delivered.
But it your case you are only 27 weeks pregnant and you said that the swelling is getting worse day by day. Also use of diuretic is not advisable in pregnancy, so it will be recommendable to get a stent inserted so as to relieve the hydronephrosis and help the kidney to function normally.
Because this condition will finally have ill effects on the kidney itself causing to function abnormally. I hope I answered your query well.
Thank you
