Chocolate cysts

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.

I’ve recently had a c section and during the surgery they removed a chocolate cyst. I haven’t had a follow up appointment or anything… does this mean I have endometriosis? Will it grow back?

A chocolate cyst doesn’t always mean endometriosis, although is it a sign. It’s just a regular cyst filled with blood, so you have any other endo symptoms?

oh ok! I’ve always had painful, irregular periods but tbh thought it was ‘normal’. I guess it’s something to keep an eye on?

Sorry late to this post! They found a chocolate cyst on one of my ovaries during an ultrasound last year. They said that this did mean I had endometriosis so I would advise following this up. I've seen several consultants to discuss my cyst and the chance is if it was removed, that another one could appear at a later date.

Hi thank you for your reply! Do you mind me asking if you had any symptoms before they found your chocolate cyst or was it a surprise to you? I had mine removed during my c section 10 weeks ago and there was no advice to follow up with anyone so I’m confused about it all!

So late to this post but would love to chat with you, message me!

Apologies for my late reply I missed the notification! I went for a scan as I suddenly started getting intense pain when I ovulated.

I hope you've managed to get some follow up since you posted

Any September 2025 babies crawling yet

My little one isn’t crawling yet but he loves tummy time

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?

Any experience with different teats?

Hey Mamas

So my little girl is exclusively breastfed but she wont even take FRESHLY PUMP milk from the bottle. I had a whole 4oz that was going to waste and baby girl was just massanging her gums and smiling lol :/
Ive tried adding extra holes with a needle, the ol' switcheroo (BF first then switch ti bottle) but she's very keen and notices straight away.
Im currently using Nuby and Tommee silicone bottles, and I would like to try more softer, boob-like teats.

Id ideally like her to take a bottle so Dad can give me a REAL break yknow.

Has anyone had this same experience? Any teats one would recommend?
Thank you in advance!
