Hello! I am 23 and I’m pregnant with my first. It took 2.5 years of trying and 1 miscarriage. I have had 3 laparoscopies to remove endometriosis lesions (ages 16, 19, 21). I have had multiple DIE lesions removed, one of which was nearly 9 cm. I’ve experienced some slight cramping throughout, but I’m 18 weeks tomorrow. I have been feeling what I think is the baby kicking, but it comes with shockwaves of pain. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but this pain nearly doubles me over. I expected some pain from scar tissue stretching as the baby grows, but this is truly an awful pain. It’s worse than the recovery from all three surgeries. Has anyone experienced anything like this? My OB seems to brush it off when I bring it up. I guess I’m just looking for support from women who have experienced the same thing or something similar. I’m not necessarily concerned about the baby, as all tests, ultrasounds, and echos have come back normal and healthy. I am concerned about how my body will continue to deteriorate as my pregnancy develops. My biggest fear would be a tear that causes internal bleeding. I’m so used to the pain that I don’t think I would even notice if something like that happened. Thank you for reading this and any feedback you can give!
