Can i get pregnant. whilst having hiatus hernia?

Yes: Hiatal hernia is when a portion of the stomach slides into the chest cavity and usually results in increased acid reflux symptoms. This hernia (and others) should not relate to your ability to get pregnant and so take appropriate precautions regarding contraception.

Yes & Yes!: Hiatal hernia (http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/hiatal-hernia/ds00099) will not prevent you from getting pregnant. Just have unprotected sex. Of course, that also increases your risk for stds so make sure you know your partner!
