    Inguinal Hernia when Pregnant

    Not necessarily.

    Bed rest helps all inguinal hernias when they are very symptomatic. I.e., laying flat helps relieve inguinal hernia-related pain.

    However, it is not recommended that you have bed rest during your pregnancy to prevent hernia-related pain.
