See below: Need to know details about your question.Is dialysis iminent ie have you been told that you will end up on dialysis after pregancy since you have chronic kidney disease ? If this is the scenario, its better to try and get a kidney transplant if possible. If u have an option think about home hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.

Ask your doctor: I have cared for women who have had children while having severe renal disease. The key is working very closely with your doctor and paying careful attention to your medical treatment.
