Very common: Umbilical hernias will frequently become more prominent with pregnancy. If you have a bulge at the belly button that protrudes with exertion, you almost-certainly have one. Not all require surgical repair; but, if yours is causing pain and you are otherwise healthy, you should consider surgery. I advise you to see a hernia surgeon. Good luck!

Umbilical hernia: Hernias can cause pain and more commonly when things are intermittently stuck or incarcerated in the defect. This is a sign that you should have this issue evaluated by a medical professional and consider treatment if it is frequent or changes your ability to do normal daily activities.
