Sorry, I have no advice but just wanted to say ...All my best with your pregnancy and that this hernia problem is resolved quickly and savely

Will they do surgery before the birth? Im sure no problem for the baby though. That is in abdomen not near the baby. Could cause problems with giving birth if not removed though

let us know please

I to also have a hernia in the same place you have described, I am 28 weeks pregnant with my second child, I also had a herina in same place with my first but caused no problems for me thru out that pregnancy or in the birth,and it went away by its self after the birth. But this time has been different, its been Swollen all the time, aches, e.t.c... doctor said they will operate and remove it if it gets worse, as the dont suggest operating while pregnant, I was told to talk to my midwife about birthing options. I will be seeing her on Monday. doctor also pescribed codine for the pain, i have chosen not to take unless i really have to, because of the side affects it has to the baby. hope this is to any help for you?

My best friend has just been told she has a strangulated hernia in her groin (under previous c-section scar). She has been sick a few times, is in lots of pain but they do not want to take baby out at 29wks although there is a chance of the gut dying. She is desperatly trying to hold out but the pain is getting worse. To top it off she now has an awful virus and is coughing lots which is not only causing her more pain but also pushing the hernia out. They have told her she will need to be put to sleep to have the baby and then have the surgery done at the same time. They have arranged to deliver the baby at 34 weeks but shes not sure she can make it that long and they are scanning it regularly to check it out. Worrying times.

I too have just found out I have a hernia in my groin area and agree there isnt enough information out there about treatment, etc. I just basically want to know if they operate on them during pregnancy or just leave it til after the baby is born, and if I'll be able to have a natural birth considering I cant strain with a hernia, so will I be able to push?? Very worried...if anyone has any info thank you very much!

I am 24 weeks pregnant and just recovering from a hernia operation 2 weeks ago. There was a lot of debate as to wether it should be done now or later on in the pregnancy, but the general surgeon said it was too risky to leave. So hear we are operated on and recovering.

I had an inguinal hernia while pregnant. I was told by my OB/GYN there was nothing I could do about it which I knew was incorrect (I like solving problems). I searched and tried different hernia support products. The best one out there was the Babybellyband . Get the abdominal band with velcro attachable groin bands, I also wore the attachable shoulder bands when I was pushing a carriage or out all day on my feet because they gave my belly a super lift. I liked it because I could self adjust depending on the support I needed that day. I could actually walk w/o holding my groin. The hernias disappeared after pregnancy never to be seen again. I am a normal weight though, I think if I kept a lot of weight on after pregnancy or now gained weight the hernia may reappear. Just another note, I was in really good shape going into pregnancy so the hernia had nothing to do with weak abs, I think it is genetic (my mom had one too). Hope this is helpful! Don't let anyone tell you there is nothing you can do!! Try support first, before any kind of surgery! I think this product would work for anyone, not just pregnant folks.

I have a very large Umbilord hernia. The surgeoun told me he couldent do anything until after I had my baby because of side effect it would have for baby.. The past few weeks it has really been giving me alot of pain on my side and lower stomach area.. But still there is nothing they can do.. They told me to try a pregnucy support so will be looking into that.. it should or hopefully will help this is also my 3rd hernia.. so think they just like my body..
