2nd Trimester

Lower Urinary Tract Obstruction (LUTO)

DH is working late and I have been sitting here reading more about LUTO.  Our DS has a very enlarged bladder on US and isn't urinated or at least isn't completely emptying his bladder if he is peeing.  He most likely has a lower urinary tract obstruction 

I know I am in good hands with the perinatologist we have been seeing for 2 weeks already and that we have discovered this earlier than some of the cases I have been reading about.  But, it is all so distressing.  Without urination, the amniotic fluid will decrease and the lungs will not develop, also the kidneys will also start to fail.

Thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated.  I have another appt with US on Monday and hope to find out more about our plan of treatment.
