That is by putting a pillow under your bottom to raise ever so slightly. Not to high or you will squish your stomach but just enough to take some pressure OFF your cervix. Good luck.

I lost one at 23 wks and would gladly have laid in bed for however long it would've taken. I know it sucks and it isn't fun, but worth the sacrifice. Be so happy that there is something you can do to save your child. You don't have to like it, you just have to do it. Are you too effaced for a cerclage? Good luck- hope it all works out for you!!!
