cerclage removal soon what to expect?

Question

As you can tell from the title, I am having my cerclage removed soon and I was wondering what to expect. what was your experience and how soon after removal did you go into labor. My cervix is pretty short. Does this affect the outcome?

Answer

I got mine out at 36 weeks. The removal was super easy! The doctor just snips it and it comes right out. It takes two seconds. It was weird getting it out. I felt like I could stretch again or something. I had my hospital bag packed at that time because my doctor expected my water to break as soon as it was taken out as my cervix was only measuring 0.8 cm when I got it put in. That definitely has an effect. I was immediately dilated to a 4 after the removal. However, I someone walked around like that for three more weeks and my daughter was born at 39 weeks. So it could really go either way. Congrats for making it this far! I know it’s not easy. You’ll get to meet your sweet baby soon!
