Talk to experienced orthopedist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
If the issues is just with kidneys, there is no immediate harm to the baby’s life.
But immediately after birth, baby might need scans and an assessment by a pediatric surgeon to see what is the actual gravity of the renal issue.
Also assessment of other organs will be important post birth (like heart, brain, spine)
Next Steps
Please deliver at a hospital with good NICU set up available
