Cerclage (Definition)
If you have a history of cervical insufficiency, or if your cervix appears short on an ultrasound, you may be offered a cerclage. A cerclage is a surgical procedure that involves stitching the cervix closed with a strong thread for the full-term of the pregnancy. After having a cerclage, a woman is usually prescribed medication to prevent a surgery-related miscarriage. The stitches are removed around the ninth month of pregnancy, or sooner if labor commences, ...Read more

Can a transabdominal cerclage be performed before pregnancy?
Yes: Transabdominal cerclage is more risky than the typical cerclage done through the vagina, and women who need one cannot always find a local surgeon with enough experience to perform the procedure safely. It is best for a woman to speak with a local OB and find out if any cerclage is needed and who are the most experienced physicians to determine if this one is indicated and to perform the procedure. ...Read more

Have IC.21 weeks cervix 23mm,funneling 22mm.no bulging sac.placed emergent cerclage successfully.strict bedrest. % chance of carrying at least 28wks?
Likely very good: You should have a very good chance of reaching 28 weeks and longer. The current literature would support your management, with a cerclage placed for your history of an incompetent cervix. However, current literature would take exception to the "strict bed-rest" as that will increase the risk for complications such as a DVT while not decreasing the risk for premature or preterm delivery. ...Read more

Please ask your OB: Or the peri-natologist who placed your cerclage because that depends how the procedure went and if your cervix was already dilated or not and if you have any other problems and how much cramping if any you had after the procedure, so this is a question that should only be answered by the doc doing the cerclage. ...Read more

Is it posible to have chorioamnionitis at only 6 weeks? Or will my recurring BV turn into chorioamnionitis once again after cervical cerclage?
Very unlikely: Unless you are bleeding at this point in the pregnancy (or if you got pregnant with an intrauterine device in place), it is very unlikely that you would have chorioamnionitis. Not everyone with BV needs to be treated when they are pregnant, but given your history, you should be tested and treated if the test shows you have it. ...Read more

How do I know if my cervical cerclage is okay?
Difficult: Your cerclage will be checked by your OB either by inspection or ultrasound. I prefer ultrasound to check for length of cervix and any beaking membranes (amniotic sac pushing into the cervix). You should call your doc if you have pressure or increased discharge (especially watery, mucousy, or blood-tinged) for an evaluation. Try to keep pressure off your cervix and good luck. Avoid any straining. ...Read more

Should not be: Cervical cerclage should not affect/interfere with the ability to reach climax.

I have had 3 cervical cerclages, the last became infected and i lost my baby girl at 20 or so weeks. Should i get another this time?
Absolutely: I have a different insight to this question compared to most ob's because my wife has an incompetent cervix. It's horrible that you lost your baby because of an infection, but i would definitely recommend another cerclage for you. If you have been diagnosed with an incompetent cervix, that will never change. Get the cerclage placed early, 13-14wks, when risk for problems is lowest. ...Read more

I had a sudden loss at 19w. Now 18w preg again. cervix measuring 30mm. Dr. is not giving cerclage or pshot. Is it ok or should I worry n consult?
Depends: It really depends on the reason for the miscarriage. If you had "cervical incompetence", meaning if your cervix opened before the right time, then you would need a cerclage for subsequent pregnancies. If you miscarried for other reasons then you probably don't need a cerclage. But you may need other treatment to prevent another miscarriage. Discuss this with your OB. ...Read more

Not much: I'm so sorry you're going through this, it must be nerve wracking. Your cervix is shortening. I'm sure you're being followed by a maternal fetal medicine specialist, if not, consider a consultation with one. Hopefully the cervix doesn't continue to shorten. Definitely get steroids for fetal lung maturity at 24 weeks. Pelvic rest and off work. Progesterone can't hurt, and may help. Good luck! ...Read more
