Umbilical hernia and pregnancy
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.

Umbilical hernia needs surgical repair
Treatment will depend upon it size
This can worsen in pregnancy with increase in gestational age and intraabdominal pressure

Complications may happen if bowel loop gets stuck in the opening.
Otherwise no problem in pregnancy..
