Not a problem: The hernia is not likely to be a problem with your pregnancy. But if you we're to begin to experience severe abdominal pain, you should seek medical evaluation immediately.

Probably not : It will get larger with pregnancy, but you should be fine. Watch out for severe pain, especially if the lump is really firm and hard. That situation should prompt you to seeks urgent medical attention. Good luck!
