A member asked:

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and had my cerclage done almost a week ago. but now i'm having sticky thick discharge. could it be my mucous preparing for birth

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cerclage: Generally, when someone has a cerclage placed, it’s because they’ve had a complicated and poor obstetrical history. As such, you cannot take anything as normal after a cerclage is placed. Cramping, bleeding, and abnormal discharge should always be brought to your Obstetrician’s attention for evaluation.
