Anybody have Endometriosis and currently pregnant?

Question

I have Endometriosis and am still dealing with my typical pain off and on. I’m 5+5 currently and have already been to the ER last week to check for ectopic pregnancy, though thankfully my tubes looked clear and baby seems to be planted in my uterus. 
How has your pregnancy been? I’ve read that symptoms are supposed to be alleviated during pregnancy. When did that happen for you?

Answer

Hello! Yes, I have stage 3 endometriosis and I’m currently 17 weeks pregnant. 
I haven’t had any cramping or anything similar to my endometriosis pain but in the first few weeks, maybe until 9 weeks I had typical “period like” cramps that scared me. Turns out that’s completely normal but I was very scared because of my endo. My obstetrician said that once a lady with endo is pregnant there’s no extra risk than a normal pregnancy but it’s getting pregnant that is sometimes hard for some so just try to relax and take it easy 😊

Answer

I have endometriosis and have had one surgery for it. My pregnancy has actually been very smooth. I did have to go to the hospital around 26 weeks for early labor contractions but they were able to stop them. I'm now 38 weeks Almost 39. I occasionally have pain and my round ligament pain in the beginning was brutal but it did get better by the third trimester. Now most of my aches and pains are just normal pregnancy things.

Answer

I tried for 6 years to get pregnant, never once got a positive. Took a break for over a year, had a vacation on the other side of the country, and came home pregnant. I sure hope my pain lessens soon. I’ve never had surgery for my Endometriosis and my pain gets worse with each year.

Answer

Yes! Had laparoscopic surgery twice when I was in highschool. I was symptom free for most of my early 20s and I felt like it was coming back. I was pregnant with my first when I was 25, and pregnant now with my second at 28. First pregnancy was a breeze. This one not so much. Also got pregnant both times the first month we were trying.

Answer

I found out at 12 years old I had it and had surgery two years before I got pregnant with my first at 26 years old, I had a very good pregnancy besides the morning sickness 24/7 and my daughter not allowing me to eat any meat, I'm currently pregnant with baby girl #2 26weeks,had no troubles getting pregnant surprisingly either time but this pregnancy I've had a quite a bit of cramping, sharp pains, and bad back pain but my midwife thinks it's from my first and this one loving to lay more in my back

Answer

Yes. I do and have been dealing with it for 11 years. I was actually preparing for a hysterectomy, was having an ultrasound to check cysts and was surprised with a baby. I am currently pregnant with my 4th pregnancy (3rd child) 13 weeks 1 day and can honestly say that the pain does alleviate even after delivery. I always had a real nice break from the pains and horrid periods for about a year after delivery before things got back to "normal" endo wise.
