In the early days after giving birth your body is in full recovery mode. You may have lost a lot of blood and fluids and you'll definitely be short on sleep and energy. You'll probably be sore and swollen so now is the time to enjoy some confinement and lots of rest.
Signs and symptoms[edit] A hernia is present at the site of the umbilicus (commonly called a navel, or belly button) in the newborn; although sometimes quite large, these hernias tend to resolve without any treatment by around the age of 2â3 years.
An umbilical hernia is a bulge or pouch that forms in the abdomen. This bulge occurs when a section of the lining of your abdominal cavity pushes through the abdominal wall around where the belly button is located. Umbilical hernias are common in children and adults, but do not always require surgical repair.his bulge occurs when a section of the lining of your abdominal cavity pushes through the abdominal wall around where the belly button is located.
