34 weeks and hernia question?

My sister in law is 34 weeks and they just discovered she had a hernia she is two years post wls and is doing great.  The doc says this is fairly common does anyone know where I can find out more information about this topic?  I have back through the posts and dont see much on the topic.
Thanks for your time,
Jenni

I had a ventral hernia during PG and developed an umbilical one during the 3rd trimester.  Thankfully I did not require surgery during the PG.  I will be having mine repaired in November (surgery pushed out by choice) when I am 6 months post-partum.  Most are repaired within 3-6 months post-partum.

Your SIL's OB or WL surgeon would be the best sources of information.  Usually, WL Surgeons are quite experienced with hernias post-op as they occur somewhat frequently.

Here's a basic link to hernia during PG, but of course you should always take internet research, answers and claims with a grain of salt.

HTH,


 

Thanks, they kept her in the hospital last night and the WLsurgeon is going to be there today.  They say it is common but I haven't read a lot about it on here, not that I am on this PG board ever but have heard threw months of posts. 
I know the baby is far enough along that she should be ok. 
Thanks again and good luck to everyone with little ones baking.
