I've not posted on this board since I found out that I am pregnant with my rainbow but I enjoy being part of the community. I had a TFMR in 2014 for a dominant (we didn't know at the time but learned through subsequent genetic analysis) kidney condition leading to malformed, cystic, non-functioning kidneys, an absence of a normal bladder, and incredibly low fluid levels.
We are so lucky to now be pregnant with our rainbow (currently nearly 11 weeks) but I've been told that I need to take antibiotics for an infection (that I have no symptoms - it was picked up during the regular pre-natal screening). I am so scared that this baby will have the same condition (a 50:50 chance) that the idea of taking antibiotics makes me very nervous. I know that they are "safe" in pregnancy but I'm still so nervous and scared that they may somehow affect the development of the kidneys in some way. I've lost all naivity following our TFMR and I'm trying to remain as positive as possible but there's always the worry that something is/has/will go wrong.
I'm sorry - I've just rambled here but I needed to write this down and sadly I felt like this group would understand the fear and anxiety more than most (although I wish that none of us had to be here in the first place)
