Can i become pregnant after hernia surgery with a mesh in place?

Most likely: Female with tubes and ovaries and uterus are unrelated to a hernia. So if all present, pregnancy is possible.

Yes: During pregnancy the abdominal muscles relax to accommodate the growing uterus . Your hernia surgery should not affect that.
