I am a 34 year old woman that had an umbilical hernia reparied with mesh about 2 1/2 years ago which the doc says was due to having babies (I currently have two children). My husband and I are considering having another child but want to know what to expect with the pregnancy since having the hernia. I have an appointment with my surgeon soon, but wanted another opinion. I have spoken to my ob/gyn and he says that he thinks everything will be okay, but suggested I make an appointment with the surgeon to reconfirm. It just scares me because AFTER the surgery 2 1/2 years ago, my surgeon told me that he suggested that I do not have any more children. So, what are the consequences of getting pregnant and being pregnant with a repaired umbilical hernia?
