Endo/pregnancy

Has anyone continued to have endometriosis symptoms while pregnant? And if so what were they.

I am nearly 12 weeks and still spotting on and off (had two early scans which showed a heartbeat). Just wonder if all the extra bleeding could be something to do with endo?

I've got endo. Not sure if all of these symptoms are related to that - or just normal.

I am also just 12 weeks today, and while I have had a tiny bit of spotting on and off, the biggest thing related to endo (I think) was that I continued to have some lower abdominal pain, similar the the pain I felt when I was about to get my period alongside pelvic pain. This was most noticeable around weeks 6+7, though I've had a bit on and off. I think we expect all endo symptoms to get better with pregnancy, but not sure they actually do. I know I've had to continue my low inflammatory diet to ensure I keep healthiest throughout this pregnancy.

Yeah I can still feel pressure in a particular spot. It’s not painful exactly but I can feel it

I never got diagnosed with endometriosis but I have adhesions and deep scarring (if it’s no endometriosis then who knows where that come from)

But one thing I continued to get was abdominal pain and I could really feel the adhesions stretching as my uterus grew. It was so painful.

I'm 9 +2 and have stage 4 endo (so severe that my consultant was pushing me to have a hysterectomy and told me I would never conceive) I am still having my usual pelvic pains, I'm hoping it eases off!
