And the doctor >who confirmed her pregnancy just told her - oh this is the best thing >that could happen to you - it will "clear everything up"! Hi again! It is great that she is pregant, if all goes well he endo will stop hurting her throughout the preganacy and for awhile after the baby is born, but let her know that the pain will come back, usually worse. The doctor was nuts to tell her "it would clear everything up" It doesn't is just puts it on hold for a while. Best wishes to your sister that she carries to term!!! We need more beautiful babies in the world!!!! Love to both of you! A.
