A member asked:

I have a cerclage placed in which will be taking out in a few weeks how long after do you go in labor ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hopefully @ maturity: Hopefully, labor will begin when the infant is lung mature @ 36 to 39 weeks gestation. You will have to wait until Mother Nature starts the serious contractions for fetal "eviction from the nest;"
