Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

I assume your Obstetrician is aware of this, as it appeared during the 7th month of your pregnancy.

As for now, it is advisable to see a General Surgeon for this, who can treat it conservatively and order relevant investigations.

Please do write back for follow up queries that you may have.
