I’d definitely get a second opinion and see if you can avoid that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbilical-hernia-related-to-colic#post-2812683 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 18:38:48 +0000 anonysquire 2812683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’ll get a second opinion!! Never had experience with one so giant 😑 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbilical-hernia-related-to-colic#post-2812677 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 18:21:57 +0000 LBee 2812677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An umbilical cord hernia should not cause pain in an adult FYI. If it did there would be concern of strangulated bowel. </p> <p>My nephew had a similar size one and coincidentally colic as well. Both cleared up on their own :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbilical-hernia-related-to-colic#post-2812647 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 16:06:26 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2812647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get a second opinion! That is big. I don’t have any direct experience but that would make me anxious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbilical-hernia-related-to-colic#post-2812643 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 15:59:43 +0000 Mama Bird 2812643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe it's got something to do with babies not eating solids? Still, that looks at best horribly uncomfortable and at worst very painful. Are you able to get a second opinion?</p> <p>I've read that pediatricians take a wait and see approach with small hernias, but that's a pretty big one. It's probably only going to be more uncomfortable once she starts solids...</p> <p>Hope you get this resolved and she feels better!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbilical-hernia-related-to-colic#post-2812632 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 14:56:58 +0000 anonysquire 2812632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our ped said that an umbilical hernia shouldn’t hurt baby and as long as I can push it in they won’t do anything about it. But baby girl is soooooooooo colicky. I don’t understand how it doesn’t hurt in a baby but the same hernia would hurt an adult? </p> [attach=1857/18/p6bgqy.450x600.C54A33F6-5385-45CF-9A94-A2FDBC40CAB9.jpeg]
