Do I have a hernia???

I have noticed that, if I'm laying on my back and I flex my stomach muscles, a big bulge comes up ... about the size of a cantaloupe. It doesn't hurt or anything; it's just weird. I feel like I'm pregnant or something. I asked my internist about it, and he said it's probably just some scar tissue or something and that, in his opinion, it wasn't a hernia ... but I thought I'd check with this support group to see if any of you have had a similar experience. Do I have a hernia???
