Hernia?

Question

Is anyone else experiencing an umbilical hernia during their pregnancy? I have this squishy bump under my belly button and it pops out more every time I cough or sneeze. Sometimes it hurts but its not usually painful. I see my doctor on Thursday so I'm gonna ask her to check it out. I'm kinda freaking about about it. Does anyone have an info or stories?

Answer

I have a baseball size umbilical hernia :( my son was born 02/29/16 and im currently 34 weeks. After i had my son it stuck out so much. After this baby im getting my tubes tied and having the hernia repaired. It's awful. Last pregnancy and this one people constantly ask is that the baby's head? Omg what is that? Sad because I don't even take bump pics because it looks so strange and i can't have anymore kids after it's repaired.

Answer

I developed a small hernia in my belly button area after having my daughter. I'm currently pregnant and at about 16 weeks maybe my belly button started bulging out. I'm 35 weeks now and my Dr said that if it doesn't go almost completely back to normal after baby's born (he said he'll give it 6-8 weeks to go back in) then he's going to give me a referral to a surgeon. It's so sensitive and has been for a while plus it looks so weird lol
