Re: Hernias during pregnancy question

[Guest guest]

Hi , I am sorry you are in so much pain with this. I have one too but it

is not bothering me, just looks like an alien head coming out of my belly and

it sounds like mine is in the sam place as yours. I had one at surgery time

too that was from a gallbladder surgery and was near my belly button and he

fixed that during surgery. My OB had told me earlier thought hat if it bothered

me that I could wear a binder to help. Maybe that would help you cause it would

hold it in some. I know my umbillical hernia was very painful so I sure hope

something works for you so you don't have to suffer with it.

God Bless,

I was told that if I had pain from my hernia I was to seek out my doctor

immediately! Hernia's can be VERY dangerous if they cause an obstruction. You

really need to have it looked at by someone who specializes in hernias. I would

assume they could do some sort of ultrasound to see if there's anything terribly

wrong.

I also have a very large hernia but no pain involved. I was told by my OB and

family doc both, that if I have any pain I'm to make sure I call to be seen

immediately.

Hey you guys!!

Thanks for all your replys.. I went to my ob today and He

prescribed a velcro binder to wear to keep my hernia in place... I

dont have any obstructions its just that after i eat and drink it

pushes my insides through the hole and its hard for the gas and

stuff to pass through.. I guess now we see if the binder works.. I

know that if i lay flat and and hold it in with my hand it helps

pass the gas and everything... They are keeping and eye on me very

closely to make sure all is well. GasEX does help a little too with

the gas pain!! I just hope that with the baby getting bigger it

doesnt get much worse!! I guess time will tell!!

Thanks again for all your imput and help it is very much appreciated!
