Cerclage : Or stitches to the cervix is the procedure used to treat cervical incompetence. Premature opening of the cervix may induce premature labor which is not desired. It is used of course in multiple pregnancies.

At 23 weeks of pregnancy I found out that my cervix is 3cm long, my doc said it's fine for now but I'm kind of worried. Shouldn't I be on cervical surveillance for the next few weeks? And can I be sexually active at this point?
