My friend was diagnosed with it at a very early period and the doctor said you will face the same issue, so you should start trying and the date two months into trying, she got pregnant

Endometriosis presents itself differently with each individual unfortunately :/ Also it’s important to know that endo is a full body systemic disease, not just a bad period. It also can grow anywhere in the body. I have bowel endo, bladder endo, and had to have a full hysterectomy. I’m on my 5th endo surgery. I was unable to have a complete pregnancy so we opted for surrogacy.
Now this isn’t everyone’s story! Some have zero infertility issues and others do. So it gives a lot of misinformation out there. There’s still not enough funding or research.
Do you have an endo specialist that you are seeing??? If you are struggling with infertility, after a laparoscopy is your best fertility window since it’s excised all the seen endo.
Reach out if you have any questions! I’m a huge endo advocate 💕

For some it will affect their chances absolutely and some it won't. I have Endo and adeno and have 3 beautiful children!

My advice is to find a doctor with a shorter wait list. If you are planning on getting pregnant it might be a good time to switch anyway, especially to someone with more availability.
Did you notice any signs or anything before labor started?
I’m 39 weeks and a day and I’ve had the runs with everything I eat and felt a bit sick yesterday. Really hoping things kick off naturally and I don’t need to be induced. I’m a first time mom so not a clue what to expect.
I feel like I’ve been losing my mucus plug for weeks so don’t think that will be a sign unless it becomes a bit bloody.
Is it right that your waters don’t have to go first and you can just start with contractions?

I’m 6 weeks 3 days today I’ve had no bleeding until just now… my pants are black but when pressing tissue on them there’s blood and when I wiped there was blood now. Is this normal? I’ve had no cramping etc

I’ve got my 20 week scan when I’m there can I ask for my matb1 or does it have to come from my midwife who I see in the surgery

I'm due in January and my husband and I are trying to figure out what to name her. We want to do something unique because we both have super common names. Any suggestions?

Hiya, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or something similar?
I’m currently 34+3 with a 97% baby (currently 5lb 8oz) and I’ve had around 4–5 episodes of really severe stomach/rib and back pain over the last 3 weeks.
The worst episode was 9/10 pain and lasted around 4 hours. It started underneath my boobs/ribs and around into my middle/lower back. It was a constant pain that wouldn’t stop rather than coming and going.
I couldn’t stand straight, sit, lie down or kneel comfortably and could only really bend forward. I also had vomiting, dizziness/seeing stars and sweating.
I went into MFAU because of it and they monitored baby, took swabs and checked me over. They put it down to possible food poisoning/bowel issues.
I’ve had a few episodes of this now so surely it’s not just that ?
I think he has been changing between head-down and transverse. It’s made me wonder whether the pain could possibly be happening when he moves transverse and then eases when he moves back, or whether it genuinely is bowel/digestive related.
Has anyone had anything similar, Did you ever figure out what was causing it? ♡
