FUPA

So, I came home from work the other day and told Kevin I had developed a FUPA.  He laughed and said I was just pregnant and I am sure my pelvis was not getting fat!  Then he looked at it, tilted his head, and said I was getting fat but only on the left side!  After, I realized he wasn't joking we inspected it further and there was a lump in the left side of my pelvis.  After the doctor's office tried to convince me I had an ingrown hair or pimple, even when I explained the bump was huge and not superficial, they told me to use a warm compress.  I called again 5 days later and told them I needed to be seen because I think I had a hernia (they tried to schedule me another week later).  I said NO, and I had an appointment today.  So, sure enough I have a femoral or inguinal hernia.  I am supposed to see a surgeon soon and we will see if I have to have surgery before or after the baby is born.  I am also not allowed to lift or push anything heavier than my dinner plate, according to my OB.  She also said no pressure or pushing when pooping!  I have no idea how I am supposed to accomplish that but I will try!  I will keep everyone updated as to what the surgeon says!
