Be Aware: Cervical incompetence - Cerclage
I just want new mom's to know more about cervical incompetence. My mom, my sister and I have it so need to have a cerclage done (stitch cervix ) to prevent a premature baby. Please be aware of this and ask your doctor to check your cervix for this as you progress. I will have a cercalage done with 13-14 weeks my first appointment is in two weeks for evaluation.
"Cervical incompetence is a medical condition in which a pregnant woman's cervix begins to dilate (widen) and efface (thin) before her pregnancy has reached full term. Cervical incompetence occurs because of weakness of the cervix, which is made to open by weight of a growing baby causing pressure in the uterus as pregnancy progresses. This can cause Premature rupture of the membranes, in which your water breaks, Resulting in too many second-trimester and early third-trimester losses."
