What Causes A Hard Lump On The Belly Button During Pregnancy?
I have a hard lump above navel at 17 weeks pregnant. I went to dr and she said prob hernia but I m not sure I trust her. The office made a horrible mistake last pregnancy. Is there anything else it could be that would be more serious. No pain just hard lump. I think it got bigger since last week

Hello,
It can be an umbilical hernia which has become more prominent in pregnancy.
You can go for an ultrasound scan to confirm the diagnosis. Surgical correction will be the treatment of choice and you can opt for the surgery after the surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
