Lump in Belly Button

I am having pain in my belly button and to the right side of it near the top. Today I discovered a small soft lump inside my belly button towards the top right side. I have had two c-sections and a laproscopic surgery in 2004. Movement and bending over makes it worse and it is very sensitive to the touch. We are supposed to be traveling out of town on Friday and won't be back until the new year.

Does anyone one have suggestions to what this is and if they think that I should wait it out until we get back or if I should try to see my Dr tomorrow.

TIA
