So doc said I've got a hernia...

[USMCwifeandTEACHER 3]

Went for another post op appt. yesterday. Doc said I've got a slight hernia that he felt when I coughed. I'm guessing it wasn't there last time. He said if it gets bigger, than it will be a cause for concern, in the meantime, no worries. Anyone else had a hernia from surgery. I'm wondering what caused this or is it just from being pregnant? Thoughts?

I'm guessing an umbilical, inguinal, or incisional hernia since you didn't say and I expect a hiatal hernia would have been fixed during your surgery.
