Yes!! I have endo and always suffered bad - was on meds to reduce heavy bleeding and prescribed a lot of strong pain relief! It been 3 months and my periods have been lighter, no cramps, regular and only taking paracetamol. I’m hoping it’ll last 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hi, mine has become really light too. The first few months were heavy but afterwards it became very light. Just 3 days and that’s it

My little one has arrived 💕

My little May bundle of joy arrived yesterday safely via emergency section (was a planned section but ended up going into labour the night before).
She shares a birthday with her big brother who turned 19 yesterday 💙

Our hearts are full of love and we can’t wait to take her home later.

Would you have another baby after haemorrhaging during your last C section and your waters breaking at 30 weeks?

I have always wanted 3 children and am lucky enough to have 2. However during my last pregnancy my waters broke at 30’weeks, with me giving birth at 35 weeks via c section after some heavy bleeding. I also bled a lot during my C section as this was my second C section and almost had to have a blood transfusion.

Im nearly 20 weeks and I keep getting awful pains in my lower belly and back (similar to period pains) and sharp stabbing pains in my right side, my belly goes like a rock when this happens and is lasting around 10 minutes each time. Does anyone know what can help ease this and what it could be please? Iv tried lying down but it seems to help worse when I do.
