My daughter is four months pregnant and we have discovered a hernia. Most hernias tend to expand in pregnancies and are typically repaired after the delivery. Usually these are around the navel and the pressure of the expanding uterus splits the tissue apart causing the hernia. The only hernias that require immediate attention are those small hernias that get intestines trapped through the small opening and then can't be pushed back into the abdomen. It is called incarcerated.
Incarcerated hernias require immediate surgery.
I am 22 weeks. In identical twins that share a placenta, there is a ten percent chance of twin-twin transfusion that can lead to increasing discordance in their weights. I am six months pregnant and my pelvis feels like it's broken. I want to take a bath to ease the pressure and pain. In some women, the middle of their pubic bone starts to soften and separate in preparation for birth.
