my aunt needs a kidney, can i donate without hurting the baby?
i'm nine weeks and 5 days, and my aunt is going to die and i'm hoping maybe theres a way i can help. if i donated one of my kidneys to her, would the surgery put the baby in harms way? i don't want to risk anything happening to my baby, but my aunt means the world to me. what can i do?

Doctor's won't allow you to have any unnecessary surgical procedures during pregnancy. Only procedures that are necessary to save your life are allowed, and even those put your baby at significant risk. I used to work for surgeons and one of the ob's in our medical group came in with gallbladder pain. They wouldn't remove it for her even though she was in pain because she was pregnant.
