Posterior Urethral Valves

tristkate

I am 20 weeks gestation and my baby boy was diagnosed today with Posterior Urethral Valves. They said that the amniotic fluid looked pretty good though. I am so worried because I have read horror stories of babies not surviving or having to have kidney transplants later in life. What should I do next? Is there anything I as a mother can do to help my baby?

This discussion is related to Posterior Urethral Valve.
