A member asked:
I have umbilical hernia and the doctor mentioned they will only cut and sew it back. how long to recover before i can be pregnant and any side effect?

6 weeks: I would encourage you to wait at least six weeks before attempting pregnancy. This will allow the repair to fully heal before it is stressed by the enlarging uterus.
