Anyone had an Umbilical Hernia whilst pregnant ?

[HJWT]

Im guessing it happened during my first pregnancy/ Delivery, I saw a surgeon for it and had an ultrasound but because he couldn't feel it to much he wasn't really concerned and told me to go back and have it fixed 'when I was done having kids' now I'm pregnant with DC #2 I'm 7 weeks today and its huge ! It is also a bit painful atm, cant push it back in at all just pops back out.

Im going to ring my GP tomorrow but has anyone had this and it was fine through your pregnancy? Thanks 😀

Not quite the same, but I had an umbilical hernia after dc 1 whixh I did have repaired. I'm now pg with no 2 and no idea what will happen to the stitches etc when I get bigger and if they will hold. So I know sort of how you feel. I keep forgetting to ask anyone about it too!!

@Whoopsies ah so they let you go ahead even though you wanted more DC? They told me if I was to go ahead I would really need to do training and strengthen my stomach muscles before getting pregnant again or it would happen again x

@HJWT mine was quite bad and sticking out quite badly so needed fixing regardless. They didn't use a mesh, just stitches, in the hope that it will stretch/last longer and if not will be easier to repair at least!

@Whoopsies ahok! I'll remember that for whenI get mine fixed xx
