Hello,
I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant (have stage 4 endo and had 6 laparoscopies) just wondered if any ladies with endo can share their stories on how they gave birth?
I'm consultant led and at our last appointment I mentioned about a csection due to having severe bowel pain when opening (sorry if tmi) which is the pulling on my bowel adhesions from baby getting bigger, and the consultant said that a vaginal birth (with epidural) would be the safest method due to the likelihood of scar tissue present in my abdomen which would make a csection harder. Then there's also the risk of the endo then forming in csection scar in the future.
I've done a lot of reading however that states research has suggested women with endo are twice as likely to have an EMCS when attempting a vaginal birth, so id really like to avoid an emergency section where time would be of the essence especially if they think scar tissue would be harder to navigate- id rather they do that in a planned section where at least they have lots of time to get baby out.
Just looking for stories of either delivery of any ladies with endo and how it went for them? Not seeing the consultant again until 36 weeks so quite a while and near to the end! Thanks
