Pregnancy after unnecessarily large hernia repair

bashlea
Around 16 years ago I had a diastasis recti hernia repaired. The doctor said it was relatively small but he put the wire mesh “just to be safe”. Well I’m now pregnant, and an MRI showed my wire mesh is from rib to hip across my ENTIRE abdomen. I’m not sure why? How concerning is this revelation? We just moved and I’m waiting to see a new doctor but at our previous residence no local doctor had an answer for how concerned I should be. Do I need/have options?
