Umbilical hernia and pregnancy

2024-04-28 10:30:50
I missed my period and found out 6week6D pregnancy but at the same time was diagnosed with umbilical hernia which I was unaware of. I do have a bulging out belly button after my first c section delivery in 2015 but I didn't have any idea what it is called as there is no pain or other symptoms. Now my concern is whether there are any complications if I go ahead with the pregnancy?? How serious is the umbilical hernia if left untreated? Attached report for reference

You can continue this pregnancy. If you have excess pain in the abdomen or vomiting, consult your doctor.

Umbilical hernia is never a serious problem. You can wait for the repair of hernia for a few months. In that case the hernia can be repaired at the time of your Caesarean.
