The way I figure it (being 7mnths pregnant) Pregnancy doesn't help endio
at all, I still have pain when my period would be due, and it's not a
cure for endio, any doctor that tells you this should be shot on sight!
Especially if you aready have children. Sometime i think that the
medical world is just grasping at straws to make us feel better.
A baby shouldn't come into the equation unless it is what you and your
partner both want. The doctors don't have to raise the child or go
through the financial hardship, of being able to aford the bills that
come with having a child.
Our baby was an accident, but after much soul searching my partner and I
decided that we really did want it, even though we have only been
together for a year and a half.
And neither of us beleive in abortion.
But our baby hasn't helped my endio, if anything I think the piklet
(Baby) has made it slightly worse.
