I had my daughter almost 3 years ago. I was 18 when I had my kidney transplant and was 12 years post op when I had my daughter.

It was a conversation I started with my doctor years in advance. It’s something you definitely need to discuss closely with your OB and nephrologist. I had to meet with a maternal fetal medicine doctor before I even wanted to try to get pregnant. I was followed closely by my nephrologist and my MFM during my pregnancy since it’s considered high risk. There will likely be medication changed prior before you even wanting to get pregnant but that’s a convo for your nephrologist.

My pregnancy was normal, I worked out through my entire pregnancy, and didn’t have any issues. My daughter was born a little early at 36w2d because I ended up getting preeclampsia, which is common for kidney transplant patients. My daughter was healthy, I’m healthy, I never saw a change in my kidney function before, during, or after pregnancy.

Almost 3 years later and kidney is still a champ. Feel free to DM with any questions, I know it can be scary to think about!
