Thanks for your query.it is called Fetal Pyelectasis (Pelviectasis)
Mild dilatation of the renal pelvis is common, and in most cases, spontaneously resolves itself as the pregnancy progresses.
Please continue to have serial ultrasounds, and if the dilatation increases or persists till term, then you need to have detailed evaluation, and consultation with a pediatric surgeon .
