Pelvic dilation: Dilation of the pelvis of the kidneys is a fairly common finding and usually is of no significance. It is possible that this represents some sort of uretero-pelvic constriction but if all is otherwise normal in this pregnancy then I would not worry. Ultrasounds after birth can help clarify if this is a problem or not.
