I am 6 months pregnant and have finally been diagnosed with a ventral hernia in a scar from a previous c-section. For months I complained about the bump, but I was routinely told it was no big deal, but when I saw another dr in the office he said it is a hernia - 7cm x 5cm in my csection scar. Now I am terrified that since they cannot operate on it until I deliver (which will now be via c-section again) that leaves almost 3 months for something to go wrong. At this point I have not seen the surgeon yet so I have no idea what they are going to do. Will they make me go on bed rest to take the pressure from my uterus off? Will they want to deliver a couple weeks early? I am terrified right now

Does anyone have any experience with incisional hernias during pregnancy?
