Does having endometriosis increase your risk of pregnancy complications?

Endometriosis-related complications during pregnancy are rare, but there is a correlation between having the condition and an increased risk of placenta praevia (low-lying placenta). This is where the placenta attaches lower down in the womb than usual, and in most cases, results in the need for a planned caesarean birth.
