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 else can I help you with?
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.

How does the umbilical cord detach inside the womb?
The umbilical cord does not detach inside the womb; it remains attached to both the fetus and the placenta throughout pregnancy. After birth, the cord is clamped and cut, which separates the newborn from the placenta. The remaining stump of the cord typically dries up and falls off within a few weeks after birth. During pregnancy, the umbilical cord serves as a vital lifeline, providing oxygen and nutrients while removing waste from the developing fetus.

The different kinds of hernia are listed below: * Congenital hernia: occur in babies, present from birth. * Inguinal hernia: common in sportsmen, involves part of the bowel protrudibng into the groin * Hiatus hernia: involves the stomach, where it enters the chest cavity via the hiatus. * Incarcerated hernia: where the hernia has swollen up. * Reducible hernia: one that can be manipulated back into place easily, much like a dislocated joint can be repositioned with relative ease. * Irreducible hernia: can't be returned to its original position without surgical intervention. * Strangulated hernia: potentially fatal, as it means the bood supply has been cut off by the hernia. There are even more types, each with their own subtle variations. These can be viewed from the link. [source: adapted from First Aid, by Geddes and Grosset]

The small scar where the umbilical cord was attached is called the umbilicus, commonly known as the belly button. After birth, the umbilical cord is clamped and cut, leaving behind this small scar that can be either an innie or an outie, depending on how the tissue heals. The umbilicus marks the spot where the fetus was connected to the placenta for nutrient and oxygen exchange during pregnancy.
