How long after a umbilical hernia surgery can i get pregnant?

Pretty much...: ...as soon as you have sex. The surgery might make that painful for a few weeks, but all the internal organs should work as they did before the surgery.

Anytime: If it was small, uncomplicated repair, it should not interfere, however risks of hernia recurrence is higher.
