I am 24 years old and I have PKD I have one little girl already and I am wanting one more before the PKD gets worse I am at 59% kidney function. My husband is so afraid to have another one because he doesn't want to pass it on I was also in the hospital 6 weeks prior to having my little girl they were getting pre clampsia and PKD all mixrd up. Also I am in the Army Reserves and wondering if you could stay in the military with this disease? I go to my Drs tomorrow I just want to find out from any on you.
