Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Mild pelvic dilation is quite common and nothing much to worry. Frequent follow up only is required. Pelvic dilation of more than 10 mm may cause problems after birth like hydronephrosis. In your case there is only mild dilation and it is not significant. Do a follow up scan on 32 weeks and an ultrasound immediately after birth.
Wishing you good health.
