Pregnancy and Endo pain?

Hi there, currently 22 weeks with pregnant with second child. Have been experiencing severe cramping, exactly the same as 'normal' period pains intermittently over last two weeks. Four hospital admissions and still no answers. Doctors aren't concerned, even when have had some slight bleeding too. They haven't mentioned my history of endo as a cause, though I am starting to wonder if it is possible? I have had laparascopy in past, nearly 7 years ago, was due to have repeat surgery which was cancelled due to Covid (and then fell pregnant) Has anyone else experienced these cramps whilst pregnant?

Hi there, thank you so much for the reply. It is always reassuring to hear someone is experiencing the same. I have found it really stressful, as the pains will come and go and seem to get worse each time and the doctors don't have any explanation, they just check my cervix isn't open and that's all they can do. Luckily I have started to feel some stronger kicks which is the best reassurance : ) I really hope the pain settles down for you soon. Wishing you a happy and healthy rest of pregnancy and a beautiful summer baby!

Awwwh that’s so good I was getting it a lot and the last time I went to hospital they check my cervix and said it was closed I haven’t started feeling kicks yet. I have my 20 weeks scan on this week. Have you had yours when did you start feeling kicks. As I type now I also have the pains but I take everyday as a blessing as I have been trying for 10 years with two loses. I hope you feel better and wishing you too healthy preg and a summer baby too ❤️

Hi RedDown just reading your post from a few months ago and if you dont mind sharing did you have these pains at the beginning of pregnancy too? I seem to have bad abdominal pain and wondering if this is normal at 5 weeks pregnancy. Thanks
