Umbilical hernia
Do any of you ladies have any experience with an umbilical hernia? I was just diagnosed with one at my 24 week appointment. It's small-kind of looks like I have 2 belly buttons popping out. My doctor said they will just monitor it for now and deal with it post partum, but I'm concerned with it interfering with my pregnancy.

I am hopeful that it will go down-it was actually more painful prior to pregnancy than it is now. (I've thought for awhile I had one but my old ob could never find anything) I'm glad to hear stories with positive outcomes. I wasn't looking forward to surgery.

My sister had one and it went away on its own after her pregnancy. I also have one now and still lift things as normal (36 weeks). My doctor said it will most likely go down after I give birth and isn't too worried. I've heard they'd have to be pretty severe for you to really need to surgically remove it. It may return with each pregnancy though.
Well that gives me hope. The doctor sounded like surgery was inevitable.
No surgery. The hernia fixed it's self after birth. I'm sure there's still a hole/gap, or whatever. But it's no longer protruding or bothering me.
Thanks. The doctor didn't give me any restrictions but I figured heavy lifting was going to be out of the question. You didn't have to have surgery after birth?
Yup. Be careful what you pick up. I know it's not easy, I still hauled the garbage and picked up kids. I also got a pregnancy belt which helped a lot.
Mine doesn't affect me now that I'm no longer pregnant,
