Current medical status: hernia in my tummy also lw iron


Current medical treatment: prenatal vit just waitin to get meds for the low iron





It doesn't seem likely that hernia in the tummy (parietal hernia) will give you any problems as long as the hernia can go back and doesn’t stick (incarceration).A hernia usually don't harm the baby directly in any way even if sticks. Probably it can harm the baby only indirectly by hurting the mother when the hernia becomes complicated with incarceration.
