baby
i am not sure if you are still looking for an answer but i had my son 7 years after my first transplant. he is perfect. he was early and small but perfect. i found that i stopped taking care of myself and worrying about the baby. not such a good idea!!! after my son i got a staph infection that destroyed it. best advice is take care of you and the baby.. chances are you need more tending to.

Pregnancy after transplant
Hi I had my transplant in 2001 then in 2005 I gave birth by c-section to a very healthy 6lb 10oz little girl she was full turm aswell then in may this year I gave birth again by c-section to another georgous little girl she was 6lb 4oz, lucky everything went well for me, my kidney is a very good one!!
Thank you both for your responces. I asked my doctor and he said many women have done it, but I still worry considering my kidney was placed in my front right pelvic region, as well as I have high blood pressure and diabetes.

I just had my transplant last year and my meds were just switched so that I can try to get pregnant. My doctor switched Cellcept to Imuran and also took me off my cholesterol med, Simvastatin.
