A member asked:

I am 35 weeks pregnant and i have a small knot 4 or 5 inches below my belly button that is numb. roughly size of 50 cent piece.. is it serious?

Probably not: Talk to you doc next appointment but if it's not painful it probably isn't anything serious.

Thank

probably a hernia: Likely an insignificant hernia. If it becomes painful, grows, or symptoms of bowel obstruction develop ( such as vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, pain, & distension)... Then you should get out checked before your next OB appointment.
