Should I be worried???

Yesterday the 10th, I went for my mid pregnancy scan.  I was 22 weeks exactly.  They said everything looked perfect with my little guy except that he has a little fluid in both kidneys.  They didn't say how much, just that it is a small amount.  They are referring me to a pediatric kidney specialists to monitor this throughout the rest of my pregnancy.  I'm really worried.  Can this go away as the kidneys mature or is this a sign that my baby boy will struggle with kidney problems???  Anyone else have this at their anatomy scan??

Some times they get little blockages boys more than girls which clear by them selves. My son had this then by the time he had a the follow up scan it ws gone. I think it was a 75% chance it clears up by next scan 90% chance it will be gone before the birth and 95% of the time it would have cleared before they turn one. So nothing to much to worry about. My little one is two and wee's perfectly fine and there is nothing wrong with his kidneys, or the rest of him :)
