Hello. I have 2 hernias. One that is really big. I got them while I was pregnant especially the big one above my belly button. I went to see a surgeon & he told me if I wasn't done having babies don't get the surgery till after the baby. Is this something

Wait. It is a hernia and do not get it fixed until after your done having children. Having another pregnancy after fixing it may cause it to break down and reoccurr again.
