When I was just an infant, I had Wilms Tumor in my right kidney. The doctors were able to remove the cancer, but only by removong my kidney. My left kidney I have been told by doctors has expanded to take up for my missing one, and I have never had any problems with it. Now I am pregnant with my first child and I am unsure of weather of not having one kidney is going to efect my pregnancy and or the birth of my child. Any Answers? Will one kidney cuase a problem? Will it effect my child? Will I have problems after giving birth?

This is a medical question. Talk to an OBGYN, not Suzy homemaker or BillyBob the baker.
