Is diaphragmatic hernia the same as umbilical hernia?

Absolutely not! An umbilical hernia happens fairly often. It needs no surgery and will close on it's own within the babies first year. Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia is where the babies diaphragm muscle (breathing muscle) fails to form between 8-12 weeks gestation. The babies organs migrate or move into the chest causing problems with the heart and lungs. CDH is very life threatening. Half of all babies born with cdh die.
