Yes and No: Pregnancy will improve the endometriosis but increase your risk of an ectopic. See you OB asap.

Will be inactive: Actually pregnancy is a time where endometriosis will be quite inactive and without symptoms. Once pregnant, endometriosis should have little to no effect on a woman's health. After the pregnancy the symptoms of the disease may return, however.

Endo and Pregnant: Endometriosis affects fertility significantly more than pregnancy. The fact that you are pregnant is a great thing! many endometriosis patients can't get pregnant. Now that you are, you need not worry. Just take your prenatal vitamins and iron and do everything natural, foods and all. I would recommend an ultrasound to verify.
