The “lump on your stomach that comes and
goes” might be an indication that you
are experiencing a ventral hernia. This
hypothesis can be confirmed or excluded by
an abdominal surgeon. If the hernia is
small you can probably carry a pregnancy
but there is always a risk for worsening
and enlargening a hernia or complications
such as incarceration. You be better off
solving the hernia (or what ever it is)
issue before getting pregnant.
