Maybe: Yes it could be a hernia. Unfortunately it might also be a benign condition called diastases recti, but you really need to see your position and have a physical exam to find out. A hernia becomes emergent if it gets stuck in place, becomes painful to touch, or is associated with things such as persistent nausea, vomiting, fever
