Please someone answer me!!! I have one Kidney

Hi,
I am 21 and my husband and I are wanting to have a baby. We are high school sweethearts and just couldn't wait any longer! I only have one kidney. My left kidney was taken from a UPJ obstruction and a reflux in both ureters. I have had 14 surgeries 10 of them from my kidney trying to fix it and the reflux on my right side. When I was 7 I also had a gallbladder attack and had to get it taken out. Plus the last three from shoulder injuries. But, my question is will having one kidney and no gallbladder make me a high risk pregnancy or cause complications?
Thanks!
Rachel

My goodness Rachel ,  you have a lot of Drs after all of these procedures. You should really be asking a specialist.
   I imagine it will also depend on if you are on any medications.  
  If your health is poor in general, pregnancy may be hard on you & your body.
   Talk to your Doctor, honey. We are here to help & support.  Pamela

It can put more pressure on your body as my mother has one kidney and two kids. Go see your doctor to determine it.
