Endometriosis Raises Risk of Preterm Birth By 1/3.

It seems that not only are we high risk of having infertility, but we are also at a high risk of having our babies prematurely. A recent Swedish study shows that pregnant women with endometriosis have a one third higher risk of preterm birth of their babies than women without the disease.

Women with endo are also more likely to suffer other complications of pregnancy and are should be treated as a high risk patient. This is not to say that women with endo cannot have healthy normal pregnancies and babies, just to make sure you and your baby are receiving the best possible care and treatment.

Happy Canada Day to all!
