Sent in for extra ultrasounds

Samantha • Fri, Sep 11

I was at my regular Dr and they sent me to the hospital for a more indepth ultrasound and they found out my little one only has 1 kidney. I'm nervous but I know you can live with one no problem. Guess I'm just looking to put my mind at ease. Has anyone else's LO been born with 1 kidney?

I wasn’t born with one kidney but I had one removed due to childhood cancer. I just have to be a little more careful about staying hydrated.

You can definitely have a pretty normal life with one kidney you just have to be careful with sports and activities is it a boy? I know they don’t usually recommend rough sports like football and stuff just in case but as far as everyday life it shouldn’t be any different from any other kid...

Both his kidneys are functioning fine and they called it a normal variant so I wouldn’t stress about it to much ❤️💙

They did say that was a possibility as well but they were leaning to him only having one.
