Incisional hernia anyone?

[MyDay2Shine 1]

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced an incisional hernia during pregnancy? I had my Lap-Band surgery in December of 2008. I'm currently 26 1/2 weeks pregnant and I have been having pain near my port for a few months, it seems to be getting worse as my pregnancy progresses. I have read about a few different ladies here with port pain during pregnancy, so I didn't think a whole lot about it. It's mostly just discomfort with pain only when I'm on feet for a long time, sneeze, laugh or strain in the bathroom. Last weekend I was extremely busy at work and the pain was really starting to get to me, I tend to rub the area that hurts. I thought to myself as I was rubbing away that it was a bit odd as my port is actually about an inch away from where I tend to rub. It was like a light bulb went off. I was like oh crap what if its my port incision and not my port at all! So I saw my OB on Tuesday and I told him about the pain over my incision so he checked it out and said yes I have a small incisional hernia over my port incision. Bummer! He suggested I see my Lap-band surgeon, but no rush as no one is going to want to repair it until after my baby is born anyway. My OB also said my best bet would be to wait until I am done having babies to get it repaired. Of course if at any point the pain becomes constant and/or excruciating it could mean that the hernia is incarcerated (or stuck through the muscle without blood flow) and then would need emergency surgery. Well I guess thats my story, if anyone has anything to add or experienced anything like it I would love to hear about it. I hope pushing my baby out goes OK! My OB said it should but no guarantees!
