How soon after a laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery is it safe to get pregnant?(i am afraid of the pressure of the growing belly on the mesh) thanks

Always a possibility: but unlikely to happen , recurrence rate is very small especially tension free on lay graft, approximately 6 wks is enough to form collagen in mot of uncomplicated hernias , speak to your surgeon .
