A member asked:
I have 5 cm incisional hernia to the extreme left of my umbilicus.i am 28 days pregnant now .is there any risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Small risk: The biggest risk of any hernia is that bowel gets trapped. If you have any pain there, you need to be seen. The good news is that the pregnant uterus will lay over the defect and push the bowel away.
