I did prenatal message when my back was hurting you should look into it.

I have endometriosis (not umbilical endo) and was actually told my symptoms should subside during pregnancy (which they have). I'm currently 27 weeks.

I have endo and my first trimester was horrific.
Made even worse by the fact not a single member of staff on the maternity team knew anything about endometriosis.
In the end their suggestion was to give me super strong pain relief that might have a detrimental effect on my baby’s health! 🙄
The second trimester has been a lot easier but I think it really differs from woman to woman x

I have stage 4 endo (had 4 surgeries prior to pregnancy so lots of internal scarring) had lots of pain and cramping through the first trimester and I was so worried about it happening throughout the whole thing but luckily it completely went away from around week 18 I think. I had the best painfree and amazing months following! My bub is 14 weeks old and so far haven’t had pain or cramps or anything come back

I have it too. I was okay during pregnancy. But now my daughter is 2 years old and for the past year my endo pain has been worse than before I am in horribles pain every two days.
A month ago I purchased the Ovira and omg its helping me soooo much. I recommend it 100% to manage with the pain, i dont even take pain killers any more

I have really bad endo and only got pregnant through IVF due to it. My symptoms have really calmed down the only issue I have had is when my bump grows it pulls on certain parts ripping my existing endo so I have days where I can be sore but could count them on one hand im now 33 weeks

There's a doctor near Atlanta, GA who specializes in that condition... You could try to contact his office? Nezhat Medical Center in Marietta.. I think that was the name. :) Best wishes!! ❤️

I found the first trimester I kept having flare ups but after that it has all calmed down and my symptoms are almost non existent.
I know every woman is different but my midwife said that the first trimester seems to make Endo worse then it calms down after that

I have endo and actually had a 3cm cyst on my ovary during pregnancy, thankfully I don't think I really had any endo symptoms, just the pregnancy discomfort

I have stage 4 endometriosis, have had several ops including getting my tubes removed. Got pregnant via IVF and pregnancy itself has felt better than I ever imagined it. For the first time ever - I actually feel normal! Hopefully you’ll have a normal pain free pregnancy too🤰 x

I had severe endometriosis and I had surgery before IVF. Had lots of issues during pregnancy but not sure if that was the reason. I had gestational diabetes and heavy bleeding at 13 weeks, forgot what my condition was called. My son came out healthy though.

I had it before my first pregnancy and it basically went away after she was born and 13 years later there's still no issues. I've talked to a few others with a similar outcome so hopefully that happens for you too.

Well I have active PCOS.

I have endo, I was pregnant once but quickly miscarried. A year later I was diagnosed, I haven’t been able to get pregnant again.

I have it and had my first baby 7 months ago. I didn't have any problems during pregnancy luckily but will be having my 10cm cyst removed before my second.

I was diagnosed @ the age of 16. I have spent a numerous amount of time in the E.R. Surprisingly I haven’t had any issues or pain with my pregnancy so far! (24 weeks) just make sure to inform your doctor every step of the way! Everybody is different, so just make sure to breath and get advice/help when needed!!

Stage 3 Endo here. 4 years TTC and my baby girl is 7.5months old. Had no Endo pains atall during my pregnancy up until recently when intercourse is painful again, but otherwise manageable and much, MUCH better than pre pregnancy. Good luck! Xxx

I had endometriosis before conceiving. When I found out I was pregnant my OB put me on bed rest being that I was high risk and kept having spotting spells. Further into my pregnancy I was still high risk but no longer in bed rest just had to take it really easy. I Didn’t have any pains that were not normal for pregnancy. I’m 9 months postpartum and my Endometriosis is doing pretty fine. But good luck to you mommy 😘 blessings your way

I have really bad endo but not the umbilical kind. I dont even know what that is??? But my first pregnancy was pretty normal and the second now is also. All I know is those people who said having a baby will get rid of the pain after lied. Soon as the baby was out I missed my period for 1 month then all the pain came back if not worse even. So after this pregnancy I will talking with a new doc about what to do cuz I know with two babies now I wont be able to have 3 days a month off in pain

I had endometriosis and it was initially difficult to conceive because it took over 2 years. Eventually I had an operation and it was removed and a few months later I fell pregnant and all went well 👍🏾

I had my baby 10 months ago and didn’t experience any problems with my endo (it was 9 months of bliss!) but I had a laparoscopy right before falling pregnant which may have helped. I’m back on the pill now but can sense the endo creeping back 😭

I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2017. We were trying for a baby and finally fell pregnant naturally in 2018. Other than severe pregnancy sickness, it was a really straightforward pregnancy and my endometriosis didn’t effect the baby in anyway. My first born was 4 months old when I found out I was already 5 weeks pregnant again. Endometriosis had no effect on either baby 😊

Yuppp! I've had endo since I was 16 and thought I couldnt get Prego until I had surgery but ended up with my suprise first baby girl!! And was told it would be better or go away after having a baby... Yaaa not so much! But I was still able to get Prego with my second suprise baby! Definitely still have endo but I'd like to think that my cramps aren't AS BAD! 🤞🤞🤞

I have endo and was told I wouldn't be able to have children but my little girl is now 4 months old and I still can't believe I have her 🥰 I used to struggle a lot with the pain but it completely disappeared during pregnancy and is definitely not as bad now as before I was pregnant! x

Two babies. I'm 36 and only just been diagnosed. Was told the pain and bleeding was normal my whole life! Hasnt affected my fertility at all though xx

I have endo, had the operation to remove and had my first baby all fine no complications or pains that I remember with pregnancy! 2nd pregnancy and the pain is quite bad (I’m 25 weeks pregnant now) and much more discomfort than before. Certain foods however make it 100% worse, like sweet potatoe and beans 😩 x xx

Pcos and endo one miscarriage then five years later pregnant but only actively trying for 8 months , really rough pregnancy but my son is a happy healthy miracle two year old - to God be the glory

👋 I have Endometriosis and Adenomyosis. I'm 38 years old, I've had two surgeries for deep infiltrating endo and now have a 2 month old boy. Conceived naturally.

My endometriosis hasn’t bothered since having my daughter and she is 19 months!

Endo and adenomyosis, was told I'd never have children! pregnant 4 months later naturally after 1st surgery. we sadly lost our daughter due to a congenital defect before she was born but pregnant within 10weeks of losing her (son is now 2.5yrs) then more surgery 18months ago.
Had a lot of pain, fatigue and very heavy periods recently so went to GP who after tests confirmed endo issues and from blood work and tests advised I was infertile.....and now 13weeks pregnant naturally again!
The main issue I had was during labour, contractions were pulling on my scar tissue from surgery and further adhesions that caused significantly more pain than I was told I should have been in during early labour (ended up having an emergency section) but that's what pain meds are for!
We have a beautiful son and hopefully a new one in the new year. X

I have endo and this is my first pregnancy xx

Yes. Ttc was hard. Had surgery to diagnose and remove, fallen pregnant 6 months later then sadly mc. Conceived again and now have a 17 month old. It did affect my fertility. But hoping I can have another baby some point x

I have Endo & Adenomyosis.. I didn't find out I had endo until 2018, After I had 3 kids... I had surgery to have it burnt out & which I also found out about the Adenomyosis... I fell pregnant in May of this year but i unfortunately lost the baby & I'm currently 10W 5D with my final baby! I have noticed more belly/pullin pain but unsure if it has to do with the endo! Good luck, Mama's!!!!

I have endo. When I was pregnant it actually got better and didn’t bother me at all.

I have Endo. Was told at 16 I wouldn't be able to conceive and convinced myself id only be able to have kids if I was to adopt etc.. Then this year I conceived without trying! True miracle 💕
These stories make me look forward to having had my baby. I pray my Endo calms after!! Can't be dealing with Endo pain and a newborn, not sure how I will cope :(

I have had two surgeries for endo and was awaiting a third when I fell pregnant, we were trying for 5 months. I’m 10 weeks now 🤞 hoping baby stays in there as I know it’s more common to miscarry with endometriosis. XX

I have endometriosis and had surgery end of January this year. Was taking my pill more or less back to back until my body bled than took a break as instructed by my doctor. Was suppose to start trying after my wedding in October but it got postponed so we started trying in June. So far no issues. I’m nearly 10 weeks. Hope you don’t develop any pain! Most woman say pregnancy helps with the pain. Hope that’s the case with you xx

Ladies, I’m so sorry to hear about how much pain endo causes! How were you all diagnosed? Laparoscopy? Has anyone did EFT test for diagnosis?

Wandering if anyone took anything to help conceive? X

I have endo and just had my first! I did have pain in the beginning but honestly after the first trimester I was absolutely fine ❤️ just try to take it one day at a time. And congratulations!! 🥰

I got diagnosed this year and had excision surgery in august. I’ve just found out I’m pregnant! I’m excited but so nervous, the first trimester is scary.

I just got diagnosed with it. :(

I have endometriosis and I have a 2 and 4 year old boy didn't get worse till after I had my boys. Just had surgery where they burnt it off.

I have endometriosis and fell pregnant with my son after just 2 months ttc, unfortunately he was stillborn at 26 weeks. Now I’m 5+5 pregnant with my 🌈 been having some pain but nothing worse than pre pregnancy. Took 10 months ttc this one.

I'm currently 28w 2d pregnant & I have endo. I have 3 other children as well & 1 angel baby 😊

I had laparoscopy when I was 19 years old, they had to burn out all those bubbles in uterus (they said several were on nerves which made it painful like crazy) and was on birth control (nuvaring) for a few years then I stopped. Around 27 years old, I decided to change my lifestyle and foods such as gluten free/dairy free and exercises. My endometriosis become less painful and cycle become regularly. Had first miscarriage 2 years ago then now I’m 8 months along with this rainbow baby at 35 years old.

I was told recently after 13 years of dealing with it, I have pain very similar to endometriosis.

how are you doing now ? X

Unfortunately I’ve had endo pain with my pregnancy so far. I’m 13 weeks and had it from beginning. However I only had surgery back in October and fell pregnant straight after that so it could be more scar tissue build up. It’s not to painful, nowhere near as painful as before I had surgery it’s just irritating. You will be fine! I haven’t had to take any pain meds for it so it’s manageable. X

I’m 11 weeks and feeling a lot of pain and bleeding a lot! The baby is healthy and me too.
I can only think that’s endo
