Surgery while pregnant

Bee • Mom of 8 soon to be 9.
Question has anyone had to get hernia surgery during there pregnancy. I have an abdominal hernia that I've had for a long time however lately it has left me in serious pain. My doctor wants me to see a general surgeon and explain that I may have to get surgery while I'm pregnant. I'm nervous about making the decision to have that down but the pain is really bad.
