It sounds like you are telling me that your left kidney is not retro peritoneal. As long as it is functioning correctly, I would not necessarily expect any problems. Your abdominal cavity (and uterus) will expand as the baby grows and they will follow you closely and may label you “high risk”. But I don’t see any reason that you could not have a healthy baby.
The kidney is not in the abdomen normally. It is a retroperitoneal organ normally. Please consult a Nephrologist about these concerns.
