Hi everyone!
So I had my second big baby (9.2 ) and after my belly buttons always been an outy and not bothered me

2 diff gps said there is a small hernia there in general examinations and as it never bothered me they weren't fussed

Now I've had about a month of strange health probs. 2 random fevers 2 weeks apart -afternoon felt awful freezing and shaky with upset stomach next day ok and fine by the eve. Blood tests showed crp of 90 and raised white cells but then went down to 10 and white cells fine so dr said must have been a bug. I've also been having strange stomach pains lower though like period pain/pelvic pain. I saw gynaecologist and she said she thinks stomach/bowel related.

Anyway yesterday I went to Pilates -lots of core. At the time loved it, got food on way back home. Within the hour of leaving the class I was in agony around my belly button, doubled over. My "hernia" was no more pronounced. But from around 2.30 to 7 pm I was in real pain. It then subsided after norm painkillers and was ok until I ate again and it was really sore again all around my tummy button /stomach area

I've woken up - it's fine

When the pain was agony yest avo I honestly thought it was the hernia but now I just don't know it can be ? Anyone had experience of this and does the background above marry up with the symptoms ? I feel a bit ridiculous feeling fine now as yesterday I was considering going to a and e ! X
