Ready for more #Pregnancy101? Today's topic is umbilical hernias—a rare and usually harmless condition that can affect pregnant women.
💡 What's the Deal? 💡
As your belly grows, it puts pressure on the abdominal wall, which can allow your intestines to push through and create a small hole, known as a hernia. Typically, the hernia creates a bulge that can be seen or felt near the belly button or in the groin area.
✅ What You Can Do ✅
Generally speaking, a post-pregnancy surgical procedure is the only way to completely repair a hernia. But you may be able to alleviate some of the discomfort and pressure during pregnancy by using bump support products. Wearing compression garments after you deliver is another way to relieve hernia pain.
