I am 21 weeks pregnant. I knew I already had a small hernia months before from a previous surgery I had on my ovary. I was laying down the other night and my husband was rubbing my stomach and was playing with my belly button. I started to laugh and That is when I felt the hernia poking out when I laughed. I called the doctor and they said that I would have to hold my stomache when I cough or sneeze and not to lift anything heavy. They will examine me at my next appt. next week. Anyone else have this problem?????

I had a c-section 3 years ago. Six months after I had it, I fell while carrying a mattress and felt something tear along the incision line. I didn't get it checked out then (no money), and by aug. 2004 it was so painful I could barely walk, and when I stood up, I could feel something slipping in my v____a. I went on a diet to see if that would help, and the pain was nearly gone by Dec., when I got pregnant. At my first visit with the OB, I told him I suspected I had an incisional hernia. He felt the area and said it could be a weakness in the connective tissue. I'm 24 weeks now, and I can feel a definite bulge in the area where I've had the pain. I'm having another c-section, and the doctor says he will be able to repair the hernia then.

Well I talked with my doctor and they said it is very unlikley that I will need a c-section because of a hernia. They can do a laproscopy after the baby is born. I hope in my case that is true, because I don't want a c-sec at all!!!

Luckly my hernia is not bothering me. No pain. I do feel I am bigger than normal for being 21 weeks. So it is a little annoying, but it doesn't hur\t

I also have an insicional hernia about 4-6 inches above my belly b___ton from a previous surgery. My doctor also said that he doubted I would need a c-section for mine, but I think he's a moron. I rotate among 4 doctors in the practice. I planned on asking the next doctor, but that's not for 3 more weeks. How large is your hernia. I only feel mine when I stand up and when I cough, but I am overweight, so it's hard to judge. It feels like it is around 3-4 inches across. Is yours about that size, or is yours smaller? I really don't want to have a c-section. Thanks!!

The reason I wanted a c-section is because I had already had one, I suspect this hernia, and I also want my tubes tied. My doctor had told me I could still try a VBAC, but I didn't want to, because my first try (a failed induction) was so unpleasant. I'm overweight and I can't see my hernia to guess how big it is. When you have a c-section they cut above the pubic hair from hipbone to hipbone, and that's where my hernia is, on one side.
