Cyst on baby kidney...

[TheBoysMommy843]

Today I went for my 20 week u/s and they found a little cyst on his kidney also his heart was fluttering. She said the fluttering could be from all the caffeine intake (I drink a lot of Pepsi ) she told me to cut down on my caffeine intake that's fine. I go bk when im 28 weeks to see if it absorbed or shrink. But what may have caused the cyst on his kidney? Anyone else went through something similar? I also have to be seen every week due to his heart palpitations.

Thank you ladies sooooo much! I'm definitely cutting out the sodas.

Totally agree with nancyji2

That's how i did it. Got off a bunch of my meds and cut my coffee intake by like a third at least. Oh and made a seroius effort to drink more water. Good luck dear!

I would recommend making an effort to drink more plain water and trying to quit the soda. Do it for your baby,  think about it like this.  For you will be a few months of restrictions and for him/her a life time of possible complications.  It's hard,  but you can do it!!!

Both my daughter (who is now 2) and my son (I'm 34 weeks) had brain cysts. It's extremely common for cysts to develop and to typically absorb. As long as there are no other "markers" to indicate an issue everything will be fine! On my follow up ultrasounds for both babies the cyst was gone. Even if it isn't, don't worry. A cyst is just a cyst and if still there does not definitely mean there is something wrong. :)
