Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. The ultrasound report you have mentioned shows fetus in breech presentation with right renal pelvic dilatation. At 32 weeks, the fetus keeps on changing the position, and final presentation is decided only at 35-37 weeks.
Mild pelvic dilatation can be due to anomaly in the urinary tract, due to chromosomal anomalies or can be idiopathic( no cause found).
I would suggest you to consult a fetal medicine specialist so that you can get a detailed anomaly ultrasound done to rule out any congenital anomalies and further management should be done accordingly.
Caesarean section is usually recommended in a breech presentation, if it is there till 37 weeks of pregnancy.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
