Can laughing too hard cause one to herniate oneself when still a fresh post-op?

Ok, ya'll know I have a sense of humor. It runs in the family, and I'm staying with my sister right now. Needless to say, we do a lot of laughing. :) Yesterday at one point I was laughing so hard that tears were rolling and I had both hands firmly planted over my incision, and omg, it HURT so bad, but I couldn't stop! I'm 8 days post-op, and the situation got me wondering ... is it possible to get a hernia from laughing? I don't think I did, lol, but I was just curious as to whether it was possible or not?
