A member asked:
Hii i have an umbilical hernia n thinking of having another baby should i do the surgery before ?

If you are having: no symptoms now, it is probably better to wait until you are finished with all your babies, because it could recur with another pregnancy. If you are not planning it right away, you should not wait too long before you have repair.
