My mom got endometriosis, after she had 3 kids. what are odds of me developing this, what should i watch for, how can i prevent it? sex hurts sometime

Likely about 40-50%: You may have it. The most common symptoms are painful sex, painful periods, pelvic pain in general. Or ovarian cysts on ultrasound. Not a bad idea to see your obgyn.
