Anyone have information about right-sided nephroptosis and pregnancy? I am thinking that because the pregnancy grows slowly, the kidney would be slowly moved, and could be "pushed" back into place, the way I can freely move it now (??). I am worried about the forceful pushing of labor more so than anything else, and wonder if a C-section would be safer (though risky because of the abnormal anatomy at baseline). I am not pregnant but may be within the next year. You all are correct, very hard to find information about this. It took me eight months of pain (although it was daily, it was brief/fleeting, so not disruptive, luckily!) before finding a doctor who quickly, easily made the diagnosis (yes, with the upright/lying down xrays, so EASY!) after so many had told me the pain was all in my head. Best of luck to the others out there with this odd condition!!
