I have just discovered i have an umbilical hernia, am 34 wks pg with twins due 2nd feb.
For the last couple of weeks have had what i can only describe as a tearing pain around the area of my belly button,really feels like my skin is about to tear open.My actual belly button has turned black over the last week.
This morning while lying in bed i feel a small lump which is tender and can be pushed back in but pops out when i stand up again and is there all the time unless i pop it back in, but it just pops straight back out.
What to do ?? Already have 3 other kids but never had this before. Will try to catch doc surgery on monday but mondays are bad as it is at our surgery without it being xmas eve!
Will this be at risk of strangulation with pressure form babies? Tummy is measuring 44cms at 34 weeks,babies weighed 4 1/2lbs each at scan 2 weeks ago so quite large babies.And the black belly button ?? Surely not a good sign?
