Will Umbilical Hernia Affect Fetus?

I am 21 weeks pregnant,36 years old ,270 lbs., I do not have high blood preasure or diabetes. A year after my 3 year old, i developed an umbilical hernia. The hernia does not bother me all the time,but i do have those moments when it flares up. I am concerned about its growth and how its going to affect me and the baby, and when is the best time to get it removed. I also want a my tubes tied when i have my baby.

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Umbilical hernia in the mother can be repaired in the same setting if caeserean section in planned.
If the delivery occurs through vagina, umbilical hernia can be repaired at the same time as of tube ligation that is done in post puerperium (after about 4 weeks)


In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you happy and healthy life

Take Care
