If I Have a C-Section, Can my Ob/gyn Repair my Umbilical Hernia (Diastasis Recti) Right then and There After Delivering Baby?
Have umbilical hernia starting under chest and continues down length of stomach. 3 ?'s: 1)During C-section, can ob-gyn repair hernia immediately after baby is delivered? Imagine she could sew back the bottom half of diastasis easily, but think the top part of diastasis would be hard to reach. 2) Is it safe to have ob/gyn perform this surgery or should plastic surgeon do it? 3) Should hernia repair be held off until done having all babies? Dont have excess skin & not too much fat, just hernia.
