Inguinal hernia?

Question

Hey ladies, 
I’m exactly 33 weeks tomorrow and have had a lot of pelvic pain throughout my pregnancy- which I’ve considered to be just a part of the process - no matter how uncomfortable it is. However, yesterday it felt really sore on one side and I had my husband check (because I can no longer see) and I’m pretty sure I have an inguinal hernia- soft tender/sore lump on the right side only, feels like a pulled groin- constant aching. I see the OB tomorrow- I’ve done some research to look into what this may mean- has anyone had one? Did it get significantly worse throughout the last few weeks with increased pressure? Did you have to end work early? TIA

Answer

So the OB said it is a hernia and that it may get worse or it may not. We will have to keep an eye on it. I’m torn because I feel that being off work sooner because I’m on my feet the whole time may help keep it minimal. I have to tell work soon and don’t really know how to go about asking for a note to apply for sick leave if it’s not needed right away but would still give work enough time to hire.

Answer

I Have an inguinal hernia and it was confirmed when I was like 30 weeks - on my left side. I'm now almost 34 weeks and it's still the same, hasn't swollen anymore,  but I sit at a desk all day. On the weekends when I'm on my feet running around, it's hurts pretty bad by the afternoon.  They just told me to take it easy and they said people deliver normally with them and if they need repair after birth, it usually happens like 6-8 weeks after you deliver.  Good luck - id be curious to see what your OB says tomorrow.

Answer

I should also mention that at my job I stand all day with very little sitting...
