Need exam: You will need to be examined properly to determine the exact cause, any other thing will be guess work which might be confusing.

Hernia: Sounds like a hernia between your rectus a dominos muscles. May be congenital or weakness in your fascia that may be due to weight loss or gain or excessive straining. Should probably get it looked at if it becomes painful or fails to go back down when you lay down or relax.

Came on my GF's chest, some dripped down onto her shorts button ( which was at her belly), and it was wiped about a minute later. Is it likely that if there was any cum that dripped from her belly down under her shorts and panties will cause pregnant?
