mcdk, any mums who've been there?

Hi, am 29+5 and my baby was diagnosed at the 20 week scan with multicystic kidney. I went to a specialist who scanned again and they said at the time the the other one looks as if it's doing as it should, but I need to go for another scan at 32 weeks to see if cystic one gets any bigger, see how the other one is getting on also.
Has everyone else gone full term and given birthh naturally, or am I likely to be induced/booked for an early c section?
What's the worst that can happen, could it all go wrong?
I've done lots of googling but I thought it was best to ask real people who have dealt with the same thing. Tia x

That's good to hear, just feel a bit lost at the moment and a bit in the dark!
