abdominal herniation

I was told I had one this AM at the OB...

clearly I need to look this up but it explains my crazy belly button (off center and sticking out so bad) and bulging spots above that are SO tender. 

Is there a cause? or does it just happen? I am ALL belly.

I've heard it's actually pretty common.  I have two friends who recently had them with their most recent pregnancies.

Ugh! My MW discovered one the day I delivered DD while in triage. Said it would heal up and it did as far as I know. Just last night I discovered it is back with a vegenance now. I'm honestly surprised it took so long. I plan on mentioning it to my docotr this week in case it needs surgical repair during my C/S (if they even can/will do that).

Hopefully yours isn't a big deal and heals up!

My sister found out she had one when she was post c-section with her 2nd. The doctor told her a lot of women get them, but most don't feel them? Her's healed up I believe, fairly quickly.

My friend had this but also her abdominal muscles split so after 9 months post baby she still looked like she was 7 months pregnant. Her's may be a special case because the only way to fix it is to get a tummy tuck and she won't do that until she's done having kids.
