i foudn out i have an umbilical hernia a few months ago. my dd is almost 2, i think it happened during pregnancy or was exacerbated by the pregnancy. i've seen 2 doctors and they both said that i should ultimately have it repaired. i'm putting off the surgery because i am constantly picking up my toddler, and the recovery requires 6 weeks with no heavy lifting. i too have a belly, and if i exercise my abs i feel the hernia.

i felt a hard bump above my belly button one day after i had been working out my abs at the gym. it felt kind of sore. that was basically some tissue pushing through the hole that is the hernia. it went back eventually. the danger is that the hernia will get bigger, and that your intestines can get caught in there causing the tissue to die. that is a medical emergency.

how is this stupid? Based on my personal experience, it was the girls who had boyfriends in 6th grade who were definitely "experienced" by high school and some might say even slutty. Their focus was always on boys and not so much books. Experience has also shown me that it's better to be a late bloomer in that category. [ Reply | More
