What Causes Fluid Pockets Above The Belly Button?

I am 33 year old female with 4 kids. During my last pregnancy I noticed a fluid pocket above my belly button. When I would press on it, the fluid would disappear but then come back. It s been a year and it s still there. No pain when I press it but I am just wondering what can it be and if it s something serious to see a doc?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having para umbilical hernia producing bulging like fluid pocket and disappears while pressing.
Due to pregnancy there might be having slack abdominal musculature giving rise this hernia.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Meanwhile avoid heavy strain work, constipation and cough reflex.
Ok and take care.
