Is it possible to get a hernia after having a baby( eight months old) i had a section on him?

Of course: You most certainly may develop a hernia, and it may not be related to your pregnancy. Certainly, all surgical scars may develop hernias, as well. I suggest you schedule an exam with your doctor, but even if you have a hernia, there will be no pressing need for immediate repair. Good luck.

Yes: You may notice a bulging in the incision site that is larger with standing compared to laying down. May also be associated with pain. See your doctor for an exam to be sure.
