Guest guest Posted October 24, 1999 Report Share Posted October 24, 1999 I have an incisional hernia. The doctor says if I must have c-section for any reason they could take care of the hernia then. If not, He wants me to have it taken care of before I have any more children. Diane I'm due November 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 25, 1999 Report Share Posted October 25, 1999 I guess it is best if you don't have one and poses no problem unless it interferes with the bowel.. I think I am just having some muscle problems.. I pray..Take care and thanks for that info..

Guest guest Posted October 25, 1999 Report Share Posted October 25, 1999 , I currently have a hernia and was told not to get pregnant until the hernia is repaired. The hernia is not painful, but my surgeon says that a pregnancy could aggrevate it. I got a second opinion from my OB and he said if I got pregnant and didn't know I had a hernia, he would just have to deal with it, but it was irresponsible to get pregnant and know you have a hernia. Just wanted to pass on my experience.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 1999 Report Share Posted October 25, 1999 Cammi, it could be (I forgot exactly what it's called) the separation of the two muscles that run along the midline of your abdomen. Some women get this and it's most noticeable if they're doing something straining like situps or something. Of course, it *could* be a hernia, but either way, your OB could tell you which it is. Dangit, I wish I could remember what that's called. I have a friend who had it... it isn't a serious problem, just something you have to watch. -Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
