a lil worried...

I have a ventral hernia, right above my navel. It hasn't really bothered me but now at 14 weeks, I notice it's tender. I have read that it really doesn't hinder the growth and development of my lil peanut. But I'm a lil worried if I have to have a c-section bc of it. I will have to remind myself to mention this to my doctor my next vist. Has anyone else have a hernia or currently have one.

I have one and I'm 36 weeks along. And it has been tender for a while but it hasn't hindered the growth of my baby. It just hurts horribly if the baby pushes against it. But my doctor told me as long as it doesn't get too big it shouldn't bother me with having as natural birth.
