Can i have a baby when i have a hernia in my lower abdomen?

Yes: But the hernia may interfere. You might consider having it looked at before you get pregnant. Some hernias are of no consequence, others should be fixed before you conceive.

Please see a surgeon: Please have a general surgeon for a consult usually surgeries done during pregnancies are for emergencies only. There may be cases where this is true in pregnancy.
