Wow, thank you ladies! Well Im vey lucky I have had extra check ups with an amazing hi risk parinatal doctor. If I wouldve left it up to my ob, who knows what wouldve happend. In fact while I had my apt early in the week they were telling me to stop complaining about the pain I was feeling in my back. Because I asked for a doctors note for work to excuse me from that strenous position I was in!!!newho it was a very last minute thing. So I kinda went into the surgery blind. They onlt explained that they would stitch my cervix and be put on temp bedrest to svae my baby.. So I said okay whatever I gotta do!

Brownie-I'm so glad you did the cerclage! Most drs are not that proactive and yours probably saved your child's life! I had my cerclage placed at 14 weeks after losing a daughter at 22 weeks and was put on strict bedrest. I also utilized progesterone shots which keep the utereus nice and calm because if it gets irritable it can cause cervical changes. Most women who have a cerclage will carry to term or very close to it. I had my cerclage out 2 weeks ago and am still waiting to give birth! In fact I'm in the hospital right now due to bp (since friday) and hopefully will actually be induced on Monday. The removal was a little uncomfortable but no pain meds were needed and it was over in less than 15 min. Had it taken longer I probably would have wanted pain meds. What kind of a cerclage did you get? Mine was a mcdonald. I wish you the best of luck carrying that little one to term!

Ok.. I just realized that this section existed.. I went wednesday for 17 week scan and find out gender and he doc came in and said i had two choices.. Cerlage and temp. Bedrest or full strict bedrest... So yesterday I was registered at my hospital and had he cerlage put in. That spinal tap epidural thing was so uncomfortable I felt paralyzed and I touched my body it felt like a dead person. The surgery went good my hi risk doc is amazing. Just wish the nurse didnt blow 4 veins trying to put i.v in.. It was a very tramatic week. Im stuck n bed with cramping. Bothing to bad. Had sone pinkish spotting yesterday.. But i feel alright.. Have to wait 2 weeks to see doc to see how it is working... Any advice??? Or stories of their experience during and after and how delivery works

Went to the Dr yesterday. She checked me and said at the bottom of my cervix I am 4 cm dialated but am still closed at the top. But it very soft. Guess my cerclage is holding strong. She said if I would not have had the cerclage I would have all ready delivered. 12 more days till I have my c-section. Can't wait to see my little boy!

Just wanted to update you ladies...Amanda Denise was born September 19, 2011 at 8:55am. I had to be induced at 37 weeks because my amniotic fluid was low. She was born weighing 5lbs 6ozs and except for jaundice is healthy and happy. I'm a living witness that you can have happiness after tragedy.

devega..Lol good luck mine said that baby could see it since shes head down ;op .. etc... tell him this is it since after baby there no sex for at least a month..

Did anyone have trouble convincing hubby it was safe to have sex after their cerclage was removed? Mine has been out a week tomorrow and hubby is convinced he is going to hurt the baby because I'm 2 cm dilated- he doesn't understand thats nothing!

i had no bleeding and no cramps at 19wks... it was devistating .. i went to the er just to make sure all was wel turnd out i was in labor.. as in dilated fully.:( best of luck.. keep elavated ! no lifting ..

I so agree with Monika, I would go to the emergency room especially if its ya first baby. You detected something early if so, because usually women lose a pregnancy or two, before doctors even diagnose them to have an incompetent cervix. Good luck!

i rang a the doc and she is going to see me on monday, but she said i prob have nothing to worry about if im not bleeding?. i like to keep track of things being different and it definatly feels that way but will find out then. i only stumbled accross this wen i was looking for something about this. this site is the best!

monika01 - 145 days ago.

Congrats Jessa! It is definitely a wonderful feeling to know that after disappointment, you could bring ya baby home. Its like you are in a state of 'awe' like 'do you mean I am actually coming home with my baby' Wonderful news!

DReavega - 146 days ago.
Wonderful news Jessa! You enjoy that little one! I hope i'm right behind you!

Carleigh was born on Friday, Sept 16. She was exactly 38 weeks and weighed 6lbs 9oz. I found out last Thursday I was 4cm and 80% so I didn't think we would go much further and sure enough my water broke on Friday morning. I had a very quick and easy delivery. This is my first 'term' baby and this experience has been so different and absolutely wonderful. I am still shocked that my cervix held out this pregnancy; I figured after my last two pregnancies there was no chance we'd get to 37+ weeks. Best wishes to all of the mommies out there!

Thanx DR. . . Yes, there has always been pressure as well. I guess im just always thinking its something bad that will happen. Really trying to be hopeful but I cant say its easy.

DReavega - 148 days ago.
I always had pressure but if its something new for you err on the side of caution and get it checked out!
