Umbilical hernia

Anyone know about umbilical hernias and breeding bitches/pregnancy? I was told by my vet that my girl's small umbilical hernia doesn't need to be fixed and she can carry a litter. I'm nervous though - any experiences?

One of my girls has one. Vet said not to worry about it. She had a litter of 9, no issues.
