Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the painful umbilical hernia.

Surgical repair along with obstetric evaluation is the treatment.

After having gone through your history it seems to me that you have an umbilical hernia that appears to be stuck or incarcerated, meaning that tissue remains trapped in the defective area and can’t be pushed back in, it will need to be repaired immediately.

An incarcerated hernia is generally painful and requires urgent surgical repair. Hence, it is important to repair this hernia before complications occur. To redce pregnancy related morbidity obstetric services should be made available along with the surgical team.

Hope this answers your query.
Wishing you a very good health.
