Umbilical Hernia & Diastasis Recti

Today at my 20 week appointment, I asked my doctor 1.) if I had diastasis recti, and 2.) if there is anything I can do now to keep it from getting worse as my belly grows. For some background, after having my daughter in March of 2015, I was pretty convinced of the separating of my abdominal muscles. Fast-forward to today's appointment, and the doctor checks my stomach to then inform me that I do, in fact, have diastasis recti ... and a severe case at that. Surgery will be my option to fix it, once I am done having all the kids I want to have (I want 3, hubby wants 2!). The cherry on top was then when the doctor said, "and your umbilical hernia could be addressed then, too". I didn't even know I HAD that!

Has anyone had either of these conditions and if so, undergone surgery to correct?
