Pregnancy after Kidney Donation

Has anyone here (or their partner) given birth after donating a kidney? There's not much research available and although I'm currently being seen by a "high risk" OBGYN, I'm concerned about the implications donation may have on my baby. Thanks!

Yes, I know several people that had perfectly healthy babies after kidney donation. I will ask them to join the site to share information with you and others.
