Well, I had my first baby doctor visit. She said that for now everything looks good, but because of my kidney disease and my high blood pressure, I am considered a high risk pregnancy.That means more doctors, more visits and more caution.
I have to see a high risk specialist as well as have a first trimester ultrasound. I guess they normally don't do the ultrasounds till the second trimester. I'm really scared, but I'm going to stay healthy, be cautious and take it as easy as I can. Everyone thinks that I will be on bed rest my last month or two, but I hope not. I need to keep working as much and as long as possible.
I was reading and the thing that scared me the most is that I am at really high risk for developing pre-eclamsia. Women with PKD, a first time pregnancy and high blood pressure have a 40% chance of developing it.
I just have to be really careful I guess.
