Pregnancy puts a lot of pressure on your body (and mind!) and sometimes the weight of your belly can create a hernia. It usually happens when a section of your intestine or other tissue pushes through a weakened layer of muscle in your abdomen.
Most hernias in pregnant women are external, meaning that they affect the abdominal wall and may be seen or felt as a bulge under the skin. This most commonly happens in the lower abdomen or groin area.
Pregnant women also have increased risk to develop umbilical hernias , which affects the area around your belly button.
If a hernia is causing discomfort during your pregnancy, it can usually be repaired in a surgical procedure with little risk to you or your pregnancy.
And if your hernia develops a serious complication, emergency surgery will be necessary.
