I had my umbilical hernia surgically repaired when I was 5 years old (1973!). I've since had 4 children, two of which were a set of twins, all vaginal births and have had no complications. The residual scar on my abdomen (roughly 4" long) does feel pretty tight when I'm pregnant, from about month 7 until the end but no other issues associated with the umbilical hernia.

What are the reasons for repairing or not repairing an umbilical hernia, a type of abdominal hernia?
Umbilical hernias often resolve themselves. Consequently some physicians will not attempt to surgically correct them until 5-6 years after birth. Consult an experienced doctor before attempting to self-correct the hernia though so you don't trap some of the protruding organ.
