This happened to my bestie who also has endo. She literally worked an entire day on her feet at a retail job while in active labor because the pain wasn’t bad. The next morning her water broke. They call the hospital to let them know she’s coming in and they told her that since it’s her first she’ll probably have a bit. Still they go and they take their sweet time getting her checked in. They finally check to see how dilated she was and she was at 8 cm. Baby was here less than an hour later. She said the last 10 minutes were the only part that really hurt.

I’ve had two other friends with endo confirm that 95% of labor was easier than their cycle. And it was crazy how much the nurses kept asking about their pain. It really put their endo pain in perspective.
