9 months post partum & i have an umbilical hernia. i want another baby soonish. repair b4? after pregnancy? or is another baby out of the question?

Talk to a surgeon: Most surgeons I have worked with have recommended waiting to repair simple uncomplicated hernias until after you are done having children. Pregnancies place a large amount of strain on hernia repairs, and cause them to fail.
