Hi everyone! My name is Brittany and I am a 28 year old living kidney donor. I donated altruistically in April of 2017 (almost 6 months ago!) at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore to a man named Paul, who I am now quite close with. We are both doing very well! In fact, I just recently found out I am pregnant with my first child! I am very excited about this, but nervous about the negative impact donation could possibly have on my pregnancy. Still doing lots of research about this, but all seems good so far!

Thanks Jean Angela! That's very sweet of you. I'd do it again, if I could!
