I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. I hope the lump isn't anything serious. If it is a hernia, like one other poster said, they are usually pretty innocent until there's a complication so it's worth asking a doctor again. It might sound silly, but it could be worth doing the plank to show them! I had to cough to get mine to show for my ultrasound, even though of course the rest of the time it popped out without warning...

Thanks for the feedback! Really interesting to hear about your patients and the effects of pregnancy. I was 28 when I first realized something was wrong... makes me very glad to have had the operation before getting pregnant!

Great post! I agree, it's nice to set up base camp somewhere and actually have a nice place to come back to each night. Your apartment looks great!
