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.
