Cervical cerclage | Why was it recommended for you? What was your experience like?

Question

Please share your stories. Thanks 😊

Answer

I currently have a cerclage in now, I have it because I have an incompetent cervix. I went into preterm labor at 20 weeks with my last pregnancy and since having a cerclage this time around I’m 29 weeks and counting. The surgery itself wasn’t too bad just the spinal tap was a little uncomfortable and not being able to move the bottom half of my body until the medicine wore off after waking up bothered me but being asleep for the surgery and having pain medicine after helped a lot. Other than that it was outpatient and took no time at all. Recovery was easy, minor pain for a few days then back to feeling normal again, just sadly no sex until the stitches come out. I get my stitches removed at 37 weeks and am on bedrest until then just because I personally started to dilate early because my job was very fast paced and not suitable for a high risk pregnancy. I would do it over again in a heartbeat for the end result it worth it 💕
