🤰 Pregnancy & Dialysis: Yes, It Can Happen 💙

Pregnancy while on dialysis is considered high-risk, but successful pregnancies are possible with close monitoring and a specialized care team.

Key things to know:✅ Notify your nephrology team immediately if you think you may be pregnant.✅ More frequent dialysis treatments are often needed during pregnancy.✅ Blood pressure, anemia, nutrition, and fluid status require careful management.✅ A high-risk OB (Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist) and nephrologist should work together throughout the pregnancy.

Every pregnancy is unique, and early communication with your healthcare team is essential for the best possible outcomes for both mother and baby.
