We review the definition of a hiatal hernia, what causes it, and types of hernias in this Introduction to Hiatal Hernia....
Do you know the difference between a small and large hiatal hernia? Know when to seek medical help? Hiatal hernia symptoms and more here....
Hiatal hernias are diagnosed clinically. But what lab tests and procedures can help confirm hiatal hernia? We review the medical exams here....

Hi all,
Nearly 2 years ago - had my 1st baby, emergency csection, Wound broke down staples didn't work so was put back in on day 3 for re cut and repair of ceaser.
Found a hernia (massive lower abdo one, inside ceaser wound) - took a year for wait list for surgery and had my small umbilical hernia repaired at the same time - with mesh.
That was in Sept 08 and now I'm sure the hernia is back... pain sometimes when I do too much, pops out when I sneeze, lift my son, but always goes back in. I'm just sooooo scared at the thought of more surgery - but know its probably impossible for me to carry a baby with a low hernia (I know umbilical ones can be ok for pregnancy)... but I'm worried that this "heaviness" - best way of describing it cause its not really pain!! will accelerate during another pregnancy.

I don't know if I'm asking any questions here.. just wanted to share. Anyone had hernias post ceaser, or carried no.2 with a hernia?

Thanks for reading.
C xx
