Endo and pregnancy

Hi there

I am six months pregnant with my first child, I have stage 3/4 endo. Has anyone on here had problems either with a c section or natural birth because of endo?

Starting to think about which method is best for me and wondered if anyone could advise from their own experience please, thank you

I had a natural birth but with forceps and an epidural - the only issue I had was that when I had to sit cross legged for my epidural, it pushed on all my endo tissue and really hurt but changing positions sorted it.

Pregnancy was the best 39 weeks I’ve ever had, no endo or periods was a dream!

Congratulations!

I also had 3/4 endo but this caused no complications for me.

One dr had said it would make a c section more difficult for them as there’s be more adhesions and scarring to cut through and they may have to consider entering at a slightly different place due to previous abdominal surgeries. Fortunately I delivered naturally so didn’t need a c section but my consultant said it wouldn’t have been major issue.

Good luck! Hope all goes well x

I have stage 4 endo and had 2 children naturally with no problems. I'd suggest giving birth naturally if you can because you might need endo surgeries in the future and the less scar tissue there is the better x
