Answer
Hi Amber
    Congratulations on your pregnancy! And yes, any discomfort you might feel right now could be from the endo. Once you get further along in your pregnancy, these cramps and endo associated pains should subside.
    Unfortunately, endo never seems to leave us. I have even talked with women that have had a hysterectomy and they still have mimicking pains of endo.
    So even though you are pregnant, you could still be experiencing endo related pain...especially around the time of your normal cycle.
    I wish you the best in your pregnancy, and yes your 4 year old is somewhat of a miracle because we never know how endo will effect anything we do in life.
    Good luck and I hope you feel well over the next several months!
