Hi,  it's better to get a key hole ( Laparoscopic) mesh repair as this will grow in size and will cause other complications. You can consult me personally by booking an appointment through practo,  will help you out

Umbilical hernia has to be operated some day. Because it will increase in size with time. SPECIALLY with future pregnancies. Although one argument is also to operate it when future pregnancies are not expected because if operated earlier it may be painful during stretch on ABDOMINAL wall during  pregnancy.
Next Steps
wait and watch.
