Pregnant with a hernia

Hi all. Has anyone been pregnant with an umbilical hernia?

I've had an umbilical hernia for a couple of years. Because it's small (size of a grape) and not painful, my doctor was happy to leave it. It hasn't grown any bigger in two years.

I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant and I've noticed it's gotten slightly bigger already. Still not painful though. Has anyone else been pregnant with an umbilical hernia? Did it cause any issues?

Thank you 😊
