Know about Ectopic Kidney
Ectopic kidney—children born with a kidney that is located below, above, or on the opposite side of its usual position

An ectopic kidney is a birth defect in which a kidney is located below, above, or on the opposite side of its usual position. About one in 900 people has an ectopic kidney.
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. Every minute, a person’s kidneys filter about 3 ounces of blood, removing wastes and extra water. The wastes and extra water make up the 1 to 2 quarts of urine a person produces each day. The urine flows to the bladder through tubes called ureters where it is stored until being released through urination.
Most kidneys move toward the rib cage, but one may cross over so that both kidneys are on the same side of the body. When a crossover occurs, the two kidneys often grow together and become fused.
During fetal development, a baby’s kidneys first appear as buds inside the pelvis—the bowl-shaped bone that supports the spine and holds up the digestive, urinary, and reproductive organs—near the bladder. As the kidneys develop, they move gradually toward their usual position in the back near the rib cage. Sometimes, one of the kidneys remains in the pelvis or stops moving before it reaches its usual position. In other cases, the kidney moves higher than the usual position. Rarely does a child have two ectopic kidneys.

My advise
1.......  An ectopic kidney may remain in the pelvis, near the bladder.'
2.....    An ectopic kidney may cross over and become fused with the other kidney.
3.....    Most kidneys move toward the rib cage, but one may cross over so that both kidneys are on the same side of the body. When a crossover occurs, the two kidneys often grow together and become fused.
4....     Factors that may lead to an ectopic kidney include
a.....    poor development of a kidney bud
b....     a defect in the kidney tissue responsible for prompting the kidney to move to its usual position
c...       genetic abnormalities
d...      the mother being sick or being exposed to an agent, such as a drug or chemical, that causes birth defects
5...      During pregnancy she must not contact with any kind of chemicals including toilet cleaning chemicals.
6.....    Your baby may be at risk for certain complications if he or she has ectopic kidney. Most of these issues are related to urine drainage - in some cases, ectopic kidney can cause a vesicoureteral reflux, a condition in which urine flows backwards from the bladder to the kidney. These complications can later cause infection, kidney stones or kidney damage. If your child's ectopic kidney is in the lower abdomen or pelvis, that can make her or him more susceptible to serious injury from blunt contact to the area.
7....   Possible complications of an ectopic kidney include problems with urine drainage from that kidney. Sometimes, urine can even flow backwards from the bladder to the kidney, a problem called vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). More information about VUR is provided in the NIDDK health topic, 
8.....    Your mind controls your body function..  You should practice positive thinking before conceiving so that you can avoid  birth defects.
9....     Eat healthy food and drink sufficient water
