I agree with the above and a pillow or cushion will be great too. On your way back home while you are in the car or taxi it's so soothing to have the pillow on your belly cause it absorbs all vibrations and movement. It helped me a lot.

Best of luck

I agree with both post, and especially what jo said, the pillow really helps. I always take something to read in with me, just to pass the time while you wait. If you don't have a V pillow id buy one, they help you when in bed or sitting on sofa as you don't have to lay down as flat, helps with putting less strain on your stomach.

Good luck, hope all goes well :) x

Thanks for all your help. I'm at home now - no endo was found so no idea what's causing the pain. A :)
