The doctor said hers wouldn’t go away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-umbilical-hernia#post-1672019 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 23:33:04 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1672019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little brother has (had) one and they also said it would probably go away-- it never did. I remember he has his surgery at some point before kindergarten, but I don't remember exactly when. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-umbilical-hernia#post-1671849 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 20:38:59 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1671849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: it's looking much better! I will have to find a picture of DD now at almost 3 and post.</p> <p>Here is what I came up with. She's sitting in these pictures so it's hard to really see. It does still stick out and show through some clothes. </p> [attach=1506/14/n6iqao.600x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-umbilical-hernia#post-1671514 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 17:36:55 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1671514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In case anyone else searches and finds this thread...</p> <p>The first was at 3w and the second is at 15m. </p> [attach=3219/14/n6ihhk.600x600.PhotoGrid_1401662125209.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-umbilical-hernia#post-1043201 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 05:06:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1043201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: yes. She is 2 years and its still there.

It has never been an issue (except when I wanted to wear a bikini lol) but I'm no longer insecure about it. It might pose a threat during pregnancy though and for that reason I wish my parents would have had it surgically removed when I was a baby. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-umbilical-hernia#post-1042936 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 20:41:59 +0000 .twist. 1042936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love HB.

I'd say it started becoming less noticeable by two and by 4 you couldn't tell at all. </p> <p>He has kind of a half innie/half outtie now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-umbilical-hernia#post-678817 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 08:34:37 +0000 beachbee 678817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nephew had a severe umbilical hernia at birth. It stuck out a good half inch. You could see it under all of his onesies. It didnt bother him much. They were told the same thing about giving it time and it did eventually go down around 14 months. He still has an outie, and their doc said he probably always will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-umbilical-hernia#post-678708 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 05:56:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 678708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can kinda see hers here.<br /> @KJfromNJ: </p> [attach=1506/13/mkgzpk.448x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-umbilical-hernia#post-678635 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 00:20:55 +0000 wheres_c 678635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: LO ended up with an innie. At birth, it stuck out, but was still an innie if that makes sense. But when it shrunk down it stayed innie instead of poking out.</p> <p>Like mrs polish said, it looked like an outie, but wasnt, and you could see the outline of it under his belly. When he breathed it stuck out more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-umbilical-hernia#post-678613 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 23:48:02 +0000 Mrs. Polish 678613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: It isn't gross, but I still don't want to Google it. It just looks like an abnormally large outie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-umbilical-hernia#post-677524 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 11:12:36 +0000 kjpugs 677524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just curious as to what it is? I was going to text and ask you @Mrs. Polish! Anyone want to explain? I would google but I'm a little scared of what I would see.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-umbilical-hernia#post-677518 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 11:09:20 +0000 T.H.O.U. 677518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another thing I heard is that they almost will always have an outie belly button because of it.

It went away around 2 or 3. I don't remember his exact age, but somewhere in between then, no surgery required. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-umbilical-hernia#post-677252 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 09:42:57 +0000 Mrs. Polish 677252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm bumping this because I'm curious too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-umbilical-hernia#post-559678 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 08:43:52 +0000 sorrycharlie 559678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for the LO I nannied - hers went away but I honestly can't remember exactly when, by a year I want to say but I think sooner? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-umbilical-hernia#post-559657 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 08:17:57 +0000 wheres_c 559657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interested to see the results. LO was born with one as well but he s only 2 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-umbilical-hernia#post-559646 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 08:00:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 559646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was born with one. Our family practice doctor said we won't take any actual until she is 4 or 5 because 80% or more go away naturally by then. Obviously I would like to avoid surgery, but I also want to make sure we watch it. She is 18 months now and she has grown into it but its still there. </p> <p>If your LO had a hernia did it go away naturally and by what age? If you had surgery when and how did it go? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-all-belly-buttons-pop#post-304420 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 06:18:54 +0000 Rosie Girl 304420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine never popped.
