Mums with Endo

Hi ladies!!

I am hoping to hear from other mums that have endo... I am in a great deal of pain just like before my daugher was born (same level as the labour at times) and am really struggling to be a good mum to her when I cannot do the things I should be able to for her.

Do any of you beautiful women have advice on how you cope with endo and motherhood?? I am guessing it would be a challenge enough without adding endo to the mix!!!! Have you found anything that helps for you since you have had children?

Meds are out of the question as we are trying for number 2 before I get any more treatments. If I do not fall pregnant again soon we will not be having a second child. But it does rule out any medical treatments...

I would really love to hear only from other mums with endo, as they really are the only women who can understand what it is I am struggling with here. Thank you all :)

" I know I am not a 'mom with endo' yet, ha ha....
But online I found this site that sold small blocks to go under crib legs. I guess if you have trouble bending due to lower back pain, you can put 1-3 blocks under the legs to elevate the crib and make it easier to lift the baby out.
An idea? Just thought that might help something....I think it is safe until the baby can stand and get out of the crib.
Good post - I am excited to hear everyone's answers... "

" You are in my eyes a "mom with endo" beautiful girl!
Thank you so much for the idea, I have never heard of anything like that! Unfortunately for us, our daughter says no to the crib and so she sleeps in our bed.... But a brilliant thought for other mums!!
Thanks for posting a reply Utah, I have missed hearing from you x "
