Question

Answer 1

Your baby will be Happy healthy and pefectly normal!! My bubs left kidney is abnrmal and doesnt work properly at all but I figured we have two for a reason , and that reason is incase the other one fails...

People can live perfectly normally on half a kidney - believe it or not lol! Sounds crazy but its totally true!

Aww you poor thing - what a fright it is when you find out somethihng is not right with your bub! Especially after it is born - no preparation time...

I know how you feel. - Bubbie will be fine though.

CONGRATS on your new addition. xx

Answer 5

Don't worry. I know that is hard to do but believe me the baby will be fine. My son was born with a Multi-systic kidney and had it removed at 11 months old. Yes he did have two but the one was not working which is why it was removed. I know it is easy to panic but please don't. My son is now two and very healthy. My OB is married to a woman who was born with only one also and she is perfectly normal. I found out when I was 7 months pregnant. I think you need to be at risk for something to receive extra tests. I had frequent ultra-sounds which is how they found out. Good luck and God bless the little one. Don't worry! The baby will be fine.
