My Three Sons: Christina’s Story

Christina joined over 1,000 other kidney transplant recipients who have shared their experiences.

Christina always thought she’d be a young mother, but because of her lupus and kidney failure, having children in her 20’s was unrealistic. After finding medication to control her lupus and then receiving a kidney from her husband in 2009, Christina gave birth to Levi in 2012. While pregnant with Levi, Christina contacted the Transplant Pregnancy Registry and joined over 1,000 other kidney transplant recipients who have shared their experiences with pregnancy after transplantation with us. As it did for Christina, this information has helped countless transplant recipients make family planning decisions. We are thankful that Christina continues to participate in our study and congratulate her on the birth of two more sons, Hunter and Colton.
