I found out after I gave birth to my son two years ago that I had an umbilical hernia. I'd like to know how other mums have managed with an umbilical hernia and getting pregnant/giving birth again. My husband and I are now thinking about trying to conceive again soon but I'm very worried about how my hernia will cope with it. I am VERY VERY VERY scared of ANY surgery and would rather live with what I've got than have it mended. To be honest I don't get much bother from it, only occassionally some mornings if I haven't 'been to the toilet' yet ;) But if I have another baby will it worsen to the point that I'll need surgery? I don't know what to do. I don't know whether to put my health first but then it's my dream to have another baby plus I don't want my son to be an only child.
