Urinary tract US during pregnancy may point out ureteropelvic dilatation due to (1) smooth muscle relaxation due to progesterone and (2) partial mechanical obstruction due to the growing uterus and its contents. right URETER ES MORE PRONE TO DILATION THAN THE LEFT ONE FOR ANATOMICAL REASONS. We assume THAT CERTAIN DEGREE OF MATERNAL URETERAL DILATATION IS NORMAL, 5-10 MM (mild pyelectasis) and is not related to maternal complications such as pyelonephritis (upper urinary tract infection). Your condition is considered as normal
