Endometriosis & Pregnancy - your experiences?

[alish]

im not sure what "dx" endo is.. but i had endo & my doctor told me that pregnancy cures endo..

cramping is normal for some women in pregnancy, you know, your body adjusting and all that..

i wouldnt worry unless i had bleeding but for your peace of mind maybe ask your doc

hope that helps.. & congrats & good luck!! xx

Hi Alish,

'dx' means diagnosed. Yeah i don't have any bleeding,but I still worry, lol

im a panic-er when it comes to anything like this!!

I dont have endo but i have pcos. I had cramping right through my pregnancy, it was just the stretching pains and then ligament pain towards the end.

To put your mind at ease you can request to have a dating scan just so you can see your baby and see the heartbeat. But cramping is normal but if start to bleed thats when you should see a doctor.

Im hoping to have the same!! :fingerscrossed:

I have almost every other symptom, so im hoping its a sticky.

I've got PCOS and Endo and I had cramping during the first trimester especially. My doc told me it's my uterus stretching and getting ready for the new bub. Pregnancy was great as I had no endo symptoms during pregnancy but I've been told that they return after breastfeeding, once the periods start again.

Congrats on your bub and I know it's easier said than done but try not to worry, as the other girls have said, cramping without bleeding is fine, my doc actually said it was a good sign that things were going as they should. :-)
