Hernias occur when a weakness in the wall of the abdomen allows an organ, usually the intestines, to bulge out of place. Hernias may result from a genetic predisposition toward this weakness. They can also be the result of weakening the muscle.

It is a type of surgical operation. Umbilical hernias are when some in the abdomen - most often part of the small intestine pushes its way through your stomach muscles and forms a lump.

In an umbilical hernia repair the muscle fibres are cut along their fibre direction (this allows for faster healing and less complications post-op), the hernia is then placed back in the abdomen, the muscles are reconnected and the area it pushed through is reinforced with a piece of strong surgical mesh just under the skin that prevents it pushing through again.

Can I lift my infant after hernia repair?

You should talk with your surgeon about this because depending on how large the hernia, what kind of surgical procedure, and how much your infant weighs all plays a part. Generally speaking I have heard not to lift more than 10 pounds initially after surgery. I am having my own hernia repair surgery tomorrow and have a 15 pound baby so I will not be able to lift him for the first week post surgery. Good luck!
