Umbilical Hernia, Surgery Or No Surgery B4 Pregancy??????
Posted: 01-15-07 19:46pm

Hi,

i have just been to the dr and he tells me I have a umbilical hernia, my only problem is we were going to try and have another baby in april. Is there any point having the surgery before I have another baby?? Or should I have it before I get pregnant?? I'm confused?????

From what i've read, women who don't have it operated on before can have painful pregnancies. Some also require surgery during pregnancy. Better safe than sorry.
