| Has anyone had any first hand knowledge of this condition? My wife is
38 weeks and due any day as she has lost the cervix plug. Nothing was
detected wrong at the 18 week scan. The other kidney they say looks ok
and is enlarged. I am terrified that other conditions could piggy back
on this like undecended testicles, penile/rectal malformations. I've
read repeatedly you can live fine on one kidney, but I also read about
others with this condition needing transplants at some point. this is
out first child, the wait for the ultrasound when he is born is
maddening. My wife was detected to have borderline gestational diabetes
@ 6 months and has been controlled only by diet. Any comments sure
would be appreciated.
Thanks.

| I think I did what you are doing, scaring yourself.
We are pretty tough but we have with those delicate
moments too. Don't over-analyze a problem.
You will start to believe it.
This may be one area to stay away from. Don't read up
on it or you may see ghosts where that are none.
In other words you may read into a false diagnosis.
You don't need that at this time, start to work on the kids
college fund instead.
Blessings and good thoughts coming your way.
