Endometriosis

I’ve had endometriosis for as long as I can remember, multiple operations etc. and I really hoped that having a baby would help but my period is back (got it 11m pp) and I’ve had it two months now, it’s regular and oh so f*kn painful.

Any recommendations on what do to?! Pain was bad enough without having to parent as well :(

I was really hoping after pregnancy it would die down too but it hasn’t 😔
It’s bad everyday but worse when my period arrives.

I had my last excision in 2019 and the first couple periods with my first child in 2020 were really painful. But I had a csection recently with my second and my surgeon said things looking good in there.. lol. So fingers crossed they're not back with a vengeance when I get me period again this time.

I am the exact same and thought I was alone with this. I swear it’s getting worse each period (iv had 5 in total now).

i never had consistent painful periods but since having my period back… been in and out of hospital for it. i actually get surgery next week to see if i do have endo or not, been trying to conceive again for over a year :(

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Congratulations mamas as we wrap up the second trimester and start the last stretch! 26w and 4d over here. Have a good day!

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?
