Umbilical hernia at 10w5d- really worried !

[Flowergrowerjess]

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone experienced the same after their first scan. Went to get a private scan as couldn't wait till 12 weeks. Was so amazing to see their little heartbeat and watch them wriggling around. The sonography said eveything looked good and baby was actually measuring a week more than anticipated but had quite a large umbilical hernia. She said it would probably dissapear soon but to keep an eye on it. If they are physiological they norallly dissapear around 11/12 weeks. Feeling quite anxious and sad about it. Any advice? Xx

Sorry this is a repeat post I'm just desperate to see if anyone experienced this and it went away 12/13 weeks. I'll attach a photo as well x

I don’t know about them in utero but my son had one that appeared a couple of weeks after birth and then disappeared after a couple of months.

They don’t cause any issues and aren’t painful - just a bit unsightly! Apparently they almost always resolve naturally.

I also saw a couple of adults with them at a holiday resort place recently in the swimming pool.

Similar to previous poster, DD had a very large umbilical hernia once born. We were booked in for surgery (once she was a bit older) as it was so large, but miraculously it fixed itself.

Hey @completesham & @Arcticlife Thanks so much for the replies. It's so hard to find anything about this online, especially in utero. What I have read of course made me worried - if a umbilical hernia in utero goes past 12/13 weeks it can be a sign of chromosomal abnormalities and is called an omphalocele. But I know it's best not to even think about it right now and wait for the next scan! Thanks again xx

Even if they don’t right themselves, a simple operation when the child is old enough, can put resolve the hernia. It really isn’t anything to worry about.

Ok thanks!! 🥰 xx

Just to update, had a scan yesterday at 12 weeks 2 days and eveything was normal! Hernia has disappeared and eveything was how it should be. Thanks for The support ladies xxxx
