Did I just give myself a hernia?
Prior to this pregnancy I was diagnosed with two small hernias in my lower abdomen. They weren’t ever problematic (nothing ever protruded out), just a bit of discomfort. Fast forward to last night, 20 weeks preg with #2 and fighting a sinus infection, when a coughing fit hit me. I was doubled over coughing when all the sudden I got a burning, searing pain at the spot of one of my hernias. I saw spots and thought I was going to pass out. It’s still sore today, almost like the side stitches you get when running, but the blinding pain is gone. Did I rip my small hernia into a bigger one?
