Watchful waiting: Definatelly would recommend to wait until after the baby is born and your body has return to its baseline. There are many anatomical changes as well as potential risks to the baby. But if there is any sudden severe pain and bulge is not going back in then you need to seek surgical management asap (extremely rare).
