Incompetent Cervix

Ashleigh

I had my cerclage done at 23w. A day before that I was going into pre term labor. Dialated at 3cm with my membranes bulging. Currently now 27 weeks and baby girl is still chugging along. This pregnancy has been so rough its unreal. I'm just so glad my doctor was able to save my baby. I'm a first time mom and I never expected any of this to happen.

Sending positive thought to all of you ladies in this group. This shit is not easy by any means.

Oh wow! I'm so sorry that you didn't know. this is my first and I almost lost her at 23w. i was very lucky but I'm more than halfway through my 27th week. I'm also on progesterone. I'm hoping everything is okay with your baby boy!

Hang in there Mama!!! Are you at the hospital on bed rest? With my first pregnancy I had a cerclage at 20 weeks because my cervix was only 1.5 long. I was on bed rest. It was really tough but worth it. She came at 29 weeks and is now a healthy 20 month old toddler.

I lost our baby girl last year at 5-6 months. Afterwards I was diagnosed with this. So when I get pregnant again I will have to have the stitches done.. can you ladies shed some light on how it was done and how you felt afterwards?

I had the cerclage at 20 weeks and three days later my water broke. I was on hospital bedrest for a week and delivered at 21 weeks and 6 days. They don’t resuscitate until the baby is atleast 22 weeks at the hospital I went to. I wish I monitored the dilation first (because I was only 1 cm dilated) and put it off for a week or two. At 24 weeks the pregnancy is considered “viable”.

I haven’t gotten pregnant since but I’ve read where people went on bedrest and some didn’t. Some seemed to handle the whole thing fine

Me too. I lost my baby I August. Will I have to go on bed rest after the cerclarge is placed in?
