Answer
If you have chromic kidney disease, you MUST be managed by an obstetrician as well as a nephrologist during your pregnancy. YOu can definitely carry a baby to term, have a normal pregnancy, and deliver a healthy baby, but you must go to a doctor early. If you do not have any insurance, go to an obstetricial clinic in a large hospital. There are free clinics all over.
