I am 28 weeks pregnant and I have been diagnosed with a non reducing umbilical fat hernia. I have had opinions from my gp, and obstitricin and a mid wife all of which have very different opinions of this. What I want to know is, will it get worse as i get bigger? And what can i do to possibly stop it from getting worse? Everyone keeps saying 'nothing' but surely there are preventative things i can do. I have got myself some tubigrip which goes around my stomach but this seems to be making things a little more painful not so much in the hernia itself but when i urinate. Should i be concerned like my gp is or should i let it be like my obstitrician suggests?
