I also have the same hernia you have. I have been pregnant 5 times and it has been my experience that it won't stick out any more then when you are not pregnant. I guess it depends on how severe it is.

Maybe, maybe not. There's no rules and not much that anyone can do to stop it doing whatever it's going to do.
Thing is, the more that sticks out, the better it is, it's less likely to strangulate. Strangulated hernia is a surgical emergency - pregnant or not pregnant.

You need to discuss this with your doctor because it might need to be removed immediately.
