I do not have the background to give you medical advice. However, in my case, when I was experiencing pain with my third child, (my pain was extreme and did not let up) I went immediately to my OB and he referred me to a general surgeon. The general surgeon informed me that he would only perform surgery if truly necessary. His preference was to wait until after I had the baby. Within a few days, the tissue that was "stuck" in the tear of that muscle, worked it's way out and I was able to wait until after giving birth to have my surgery. I did have the beginning of a hernia with my second baby but the pain was only occasional and was not a real issue when I was pregnant. Try not to worry and wait and see what your doctor suggests. Good luck!
