Pregnancy and PKD

hi there,

I have had pkd since I was born in 1995 and on my second transplant now from my father in 2016.

I was wondering about people with pkd and anyone that has gone on to have kids? I am 29 now so I would like to realistically think about it soon but worried about complications or damage to children/kidney’s during pregnancy.

I would be greatful if anyone could reply with their thoughts or own stories on pregnancy and having pkd. I feel worried about the future and uncertain if I will ever have kids with this.

thank you
