Not always. It typically means sex is painful and sufferers have trouble with infertility. Endometriosis is one of the more frequent indications for IVF. But it's not an indicator for high risk pregnancy by itself.
@Lulupasternak: True. Back in the early '80s my MIL was diagnosed with it and had to have one ovary and fallopian tube removed as a result. She was told she'd probably never carry a child to term, but she had my husband a year later.
@dolemite1975: No no no. There was a rumor that this guy Manu Nathan was the father, but it turns out he is not the father, but rather her cousin. Careful, that's how urban legends get started!
I don't know about quantity, but a Quickfire Challenge addressing a pregnant woman's food cravings and/or aversions might have some real entertainment value.
@Smitros: She's either the one who survived cancer, the one whose vice is that she traveled 27 days from Haiti to America, or the one with the gay boyfriend of the opposite sex who's also gay. So, so easy to get these people confused, you know what I mean?
I turn my back for one minute, and she goes and gets knocked up? Looks like she'll have to find someone else to fend off the grizzly bear that tries to attack her during her outdoor naked milk and honey bath (in my Top Chef fan fiction).
@Brian Moylan: You speak the truth! My friend recently reminded me of Brad's quick rise in social status. In season one he had this obviously average social life and maybe one less than stylish friend making a brief background appearance. Suddenly in season two he is making comments along the lines of, "Whenever I am in New York I always try to make time to see all of my friends." Cut to a shot of a party in a high rise with Marc Jacobs' boyfriend sitting pretty among a small groub of fabulous looking people.
@SadafJalope: My husband nearly threw a plate at the teevee when he realized it was a rerun. I'm afraid of what will happen when I break the news about Padma.
She did look about 4 months along in that dress. I didn't want to say anything at the time because men would just chalk it up to being jealous. Which I am. But whatever. Here's hoping the baby daddy is not Rocco Dispirito!
@misslinda: I also thought the same thing, and she also doesn't look like one of those glowing preggers women, she got the unfortunate bloated and ashen kind of pregnancy.
@lionel-mandrake: WTF? This is the second time today I've seen an unapproved commenter with a gold star--how does that happen?
Okay, I just had to say that. She does look rather ashen and unglowy. The yentas in my office say that means you're having a girl, cause the baby girls steal your beauty. I think it just means she's detoxing from the no more wakey bakey.
@misslinda: I think it's because my commenter identity predates the whole "approval" scheme, and I let it go dormant for a while. The weird thing? I can approve my own comments. I usually wait to see if someone else approves me first, that way my shallow ego gets fed regularly.

But she's survived cancer, right? Or is that one of the others?

Shoot.
All I know about the show comes from the summaries and comments.
How's she doing against her brother?

Also, I will watch Fabio for the accent and his silly exclamations. I heart him.

So Padma can't get baked anymore? I guess we'll see if that's just her natural state.
Also, I'm alternately horrified and extremely excited about Fabio's show. There will be so much accent!

There was probably more to take from this post, but I'm still stuck there. The liveblog is going to need to start dispensing tissues.

It's heartwarming to think that complete strangers will be crying tears of joy.

Anyway, I always keep tissues handy when I watch Padma.
