Hello ma'am and welcome.
Fetal renal pelvis dilation (RPD) is a rare occurrence and is usually considered to be associated with urinary tract abnormalities only if the dilation is found to be above 9 cm. In your fetus, the dilation is only 0.5 cm and in my opinion with this value, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Continue doing whatever you are doing to take care of yourself and do not stress.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
