Risks of having baby after hernia surgery?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hernia recurrence: First and foremost, a prior hernia repair is unlikely to interfere with your pregnancy or delivery. However, the location of the hernia and the method of repair may have some impact if mesh was used and a c-section is necessary. Be sure and review this information with your obstetrician early in your pregnancy.

How long : I would wait at least 6 months. The only risk is that it can recur. www.drlugo.com.
