If you can share some info on complications and whether or not the baby was healthy, I'd appreciate it. It would also help to know if this woman was also a diabetic, but it's not mandatory. Thanks!
Answer:
Pregnancy for a woman on dialysis is considered high risk to both the mother and the child. For the mother, it increases the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.
Spontaneous miscarrige as well as premature birth are very common. The problems associated with premature birth decrease the chances of survival for the baby. Also, there are serious concerns about long-term damage to their lungs, eyes, brains and growth.
Pregnancy involving somebody on dialysis
requires special prenatal care. This means close collaboration between her obstetrician, the kidney doctor, the dialysis nurse, the dietician, and a pediatrician specializing in premature births.
Also, to improve the chances of having a successful pregnancy, the frequency of dialysis will probably need to be increased to 5 or 6 times per week instead of 3 times per week.
Answer:
sorry but not heard of a case where a person is on regular dialysis and had a baby.
