I had exactly that in my 3rd pregnancy. You need to let you doctor know about it at your next visit. Mine was an umbilical hernia. I spoke with a surgeon while I was pregnant but was told that unless it became stangelated they would wait untill after the baby to do sugery. I vaginaly deliverd my son and it was okay but had surgey when I was about 7 weeks PP.  If it is a hernia its a routine surgery to fix it. Best of luck!!
