I was so happy to see this post. Although I'm sorry for the suffering that anyone has had to deal with. I am 52 and felt as though my stomach muscles have been terribly affected by my MC, along with three (large babies) pregnancies and one abdominal surgery 10 years ago. This past September I had paraumbilical hernia repair surgery. It was awful. And now all these months later it hurts worse then before the "repair". My Doc also found two other hernia's while she was in repairing the one. And, I also now feel another possible hernia on my lower right abdominal wall. I'm beginning to think my abdominal muscles are terribly weakened. :( And, the BMC has added to all the pain I'm experiencing more and more. Are we more susceptible to abdominal hernias?
