I found out I have an incompetent cervix with my first and only child when I was 21 weeks and got an emergency cerclage placed at 22 weeks... It only helped me out until 28 weeks but I was grateful for those weeks it did help me!! My daughter was born in April of 2018 and stayed in NICU for 61 days, and she is the best baby ever! I share this to say even when things may seem like they are going left trust in God that there will be light at the end of the tunnel. Us women are AMAZING.
I purposely looked for your video to share how your story helped me. I learned at 20 weeks I was dilating. The next day I was given emergent cerclage and placed on bed rest. I watched all, I mean everyone of your videos to gain hope. I was scared out of my mind! Each doctor visit, I felt defeated.... but I'll watch your video and felt better. I had my daughter at 38 weeks. Healthy! Thank you for sharing this intimate moment with us. It got me through my most trying times.
So glad i found your channel. I recently lost my daughter to IC at 16 weeks. It was a total and complete surprise to us bc i didnt have any contractions. When Bethpage came out, she was still in her sac...she was perfect. So glad you are sharing your story. It really does give home to me and others who have IC. Also love your faith too! My faith is keeping me afloat.
I just lost my baby boy at 22weeks due to incompetent cervix. I had mild symptoms I chalked up to Braxton Hicks and low back pain I thought was just due to shift in gravity. Less than 12 hours later I was increasingly uncomfortable and left work for an ultrasound. I was 2cm dilated and cervix was 1.75. We went straight to the hospital and my water broke almost immediately and I gave birth within the hour. It is the worst experience I have ever gone through and continue to go through. Videos like yours help me not to lose hope for the next time. We suffered from infertility so this felt like an extra kick in the gut. Luckily we are with one of the best practices in the northeast and already seeing a MFM to plan and prepare for next time. I thank you so much for sharing your story.
I’m sorry for your loss. I had the same thing happen with my twins at 20w4d and they were born alive, I held them until their last breath until god took them up to heaven. So scared for my next pregnancy but I’m determined. Best wishes
I'm here at the hospital and I just undergone cerclage last night. Thank you for sharing your wonderful testimony. I really do believe that God used you to give light and hope to those who are experiencing it, like me. So thank you so much and also yes I appreciate your prayers. God bless you and your family 🙏😭❤.
Emergency cerclage at 17 weeks with my son, it failed, pessary and progesterone shots, bed rest….had cerclage removed at 36 weeks and was 4cm dilated…my son was born at 38w4days…8lbs2oz…💙
Thank you so much for sharing your story. God bless you and your family! I had my first baby back in 2005 at 27 weeks...our stories were very similar with our first pregnancy as I didn't know anything was wrong until oh your cervix is opening, but for me it was too late and dangerous for the emergency cerclage. I was terrified. I held my son in preterm labor at a hospital 2 hours away for 16 days! And he was born at 2 lbs 7 oz...that was a long and scary journey that turned out well because my son survived and he will be 16 this summer! Praise God! Well unexpectedly I am pregnant again and knew I wanted a cerclage and am scheduled to get mine at 13 weeks this upcoming Tuesday. Hoping you read this and truly just wanted to ask if you would pray for me and my baby. I am nervous, but have faith that God will see me through as He did the last time around. You are so awesome for offering to pray for women in this video, it truly touched my heart. And your information made me hopeful that I will be a Mom of two as well💖 Thank you so much for being you!
Thank you for sharing your experience, i just had an emergency cerclage at 21 weeks and was looking for positive outcomes. Happy to hear you were blessed with a second little one ❤️❤️🙏
Thank you so much for being so open and honest with us. I’m so grateful to God your little ones are beautiful and healthy! I just had my emergent cerclage yesterday at 20 weeks and nervous out of my mind. I am a woman of faith and will continue to lean on those promises. Your family’s story has given hope to my own. God bless you Joelle!❤️❤️
@@scotttisdale2773 we are actually celebrating my baby girls 2nd birthday today! thank you for asking and I pray a safe and healthy pregnancy course and delivery for you and your girlfriend! 🤎
I found out I had cervical incompetence at 17wks. Everything happened so fast from heavy cramping to extreme bleeding and blood clots. I knew what was happening but I didn't know why so I went to the hospital. It was so scary. (Being in the 2nd trimester I thought I was safe from miscarriage.) My baby boy didn't make it as my water broke and they saw that his arm was already sticking out of my cervix. I'm pregnant again this time at 11 weeks and coming in with this knowledge of my condition, I'd like to get a preventative cerclage.
Thank you for this video! It definitely gives me hope. I have an incompetent cervix and received my cercloge at 20 weeks. Im so scared but with prayer i hope to make it through. Please pray for me. Thank you and God Bless!
Thank you for posting this! I go in Monday for a preventative cerclage. I had an in depth leep procedure a few years ago, so my doctor wants to do a preventative cerclage due to my shortened cervix. This is my first pregnancy so this is all new to me. Your videos have been so helpful!
I know I am late but as I went for my first appointment at 19 weeks 3 days I found out I had an IC, I had a rescue cerclage placed the same night. I was 1cm dilated prior to the surgery and during the surgery I dilated even more to 2-3 cm. Now I am 19weeks and 6 days and I’m just praying my baby boy will make it to full term. If I could please ask for anyone’s prayers I would wholeheartedly appreciate it
Tha I you so much for sharing your story!! I just had to have an emergent cerclage at 21wks, and I was terrified and felt betrayed by my body. I hadn’t had any contractions or any sign that I was dilated. Luckily my OB thought she saw some funneling on my anatomy scan and I got in with the high risk doctors the same week!! The high risk doctor got me in for surgery the morning after she saw me! It is so good to hear your story, as J am still terrified I won’t make it to term. Also knowing if we want to have anymore children I will need this done again it is nice to hear how different your experiences were!!
I had an emergency cerclage placed at 20 weeks, ruptured at 20 and 6 days and lost my son at 22 and 5 with an infection and prolapsed cord. I am terrified to get pregnant again but I am also stubborn and determined to be a mother to a living child. I’m glad to see you had success and helps me to better make a decision. Thank you for sharing.
@@neciasamuel194 I absolutely did! I got a transabdominal cerclage (TAC) placed and I have an almost 2 year old daughter. 🥰 I had a beautiful pregnancy and she is my everything. I plan on trying again in about a year. I wish you well!
Thanks for sharing this video ! I have a similar case as yours and would like to ask you about the bed rest . My doc did not suggest complete bed rest but recommended to not perform any strenuous activity / pelvic rest / no heavy lifting and no long walks. I am scared to even walk for 10 mins . Please share your journey about the resting part post the procedure like how much did you walk , were you doing normal household chores (cooking etc.) .
I just had emergency cerclage at 20w, I was completely open by the time of surgery and because of that I was ordered strict bed rest for the next 8 weeks minimum. Basically putting no pressure on the cervix so I cannot even sit straight but only lean back. I think it does depend how serious your situation was, mine due to full opening ended up being worse that what they originally thought.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I’m going thru the same thing with my first, I feel so lucky and blessed to be at 35 weeks and 5 days. Doctor Matt in MSP actually did my emergency cerclage too! He’s the best and I’m so thankful for him every day!
My last pregnancy I had a emergency cerclage at roughly 20 weeks with 1cm of cervix left. I'm now pregnant again with #2 and will have to have a preventative cerclage placed. My biggest worry is that I'd have to go on bedrest and not have a normal pregnancy :/ Your videos help me tremendously :)
everything was fine and normal at 18 weeks but then at 20 weeks i had pelvic pain and liquid discharge for over an hour, i called my doctor’s office and they told me to just take a tylenol and drink water, but when i called my mom(she’s not a nurse) she told me i needed to go to the emergency room immediately so i did and baby was gonna come out, unfortunately my water had already broken and he died :(
I've loss my first and 2nd baby due to cervical incompetence at 26 weeks, it was really painful, I thought I would breakdown but thanks to my husband, family and the Lord I was able to overcome the situation. I hope and pray that I can find a great Doctor here in the Philippines to do the Cerclage once I get pregnant again. Thank you for sharing your Story😇
Thanks for posting this i needed to hear this .. i had a emergency cerclage and will be getting another one before i have another baby ...its great to hear the difference
Wow I have both of your children names saved as my baby names to choose for my son. This video was meant for me. 20 weeks 2cm dilated when I found out I needed a emergency cerclage. The doctor had a hard time closing my cervix because my water bag is resting on the opening. I am praying to past even 24-26 weeks just to give my son hope. I am in shambles and currently on bed rest. Trying to keep it together for son, he is so healthy and strong.
Thank you for sharing your story, i have a question, for your second pregnancy did you take the progesterone shots and were you give antibiotics after the second cerclage? I’m in my second pregnancy and I have to go for a preventative cerclage and I want to take all precautions
Thank you so much for sharing you experiences. This is my first pregnancy and I learned at my 18 week fetal anatomy scan that I had a very short cervix (this past Tuesday). Yesterday, on Wednesday, I went into my OB for a follow up and got the terrible news that I was 1 cm dilated. Luckily I was able to get scheduled at another hospital with one of the best surgeons in the county. I had my cerclage put in last night and the procedure went so well. I had minor pain and took just one tylenol and zero bleeding. I am praying so so hard that my baby boy stays in till June. These next two weeks will be filled with anxiety and worrisome, but at the same time hope. I’m so happy to have decided on the cerclage procedure because waiting for the progesterone suppositories seemed too risky. Again, thank you so much for this video. You have given me so much more hope and I pray that these next two weeks to be in “the safe zone” that God continues to bless me in carrying my precious miracle. Thank you thank you
bhagyashree halbe thank you for your kind words! I’m 29 weeks and 5 days today. :) It’s been a crazy roller coaster, but God is so great. How are you doing? I hope all is well!
@@ELLE-yg6lk that's amazing and I'm so glad to hear that!! I am 29 weeks and 3 days so similar to you :) Everyday I hope and pray to reach 37 weeks. I've been signed off work ever since my cerclage in week 20 and stayed at home. Its been most difficult but I'm happy to do everything i can to keep the miracle inside. Are you on bedrest or modified bedrest too? I'll pray that both of us deliver healthy babies xxx
@@bhagyabs17 That's so wonderful!! I'm on modified bedrest although my doctors say it's "unnecessary." But I'm following my heart and doing what feels best for my body and baby. I work from home and do school full-time from home as well, so that's helped a lot. At first, I was terrified of walking or getting out of the house, but now I go out on the weekends (minimal walking) and I'm currently planning our baby shower for next week! So I've been doing a little more than usual, but everything still feels great. Thank goodness!!
@@ELLE-yg6lk so true we don't really know if the modified bedrest works but we've come this far I'm sure it's helped. I've been on my feet at home a little bit more too and hope it stays the same. Wow enjoy your baby shower hun!!!
After cerclage, you mentioned that you did not let the doctors do vaginal ultrasound. How about checking the cervix? In my last pregnancy, they did vaginal ultrasound and also used a Pap smear like tool to check my cervix. I had an emergency cerclage at 15 weeks, we lost our baby at 21 weeks. I’m trying to find what can I do to prevent any pressure to cervix next time. Please advise on how your doctors checked/measured your cervix after cerclage.
I’m pregnant with baby number 3. I am 13 weeks & 4 days and I am getting a cervical cerclage in 4 days now since My OB said my cervix is stating to shorten now and I feel nerves & scared so yes Im going to be praying a lot hopefully everything goes well & please send your prayers too 👏🏼but I do whatever I can to save my baby # 3 life & be a mother for once in my life and i have no children at all do to for having cervix insufficiency. I wish I knew sooner but the good thing I know now .My 1st baby I lost in 18 weeks & baby number 2 I lost it in 21 weeks & 5 days I went into premature labor I was dilated 2cm. I knew this was a bad sign & I was so scared then I had to get a emergency cerclage depending how my body is reacting but since I was actively in labor I kept dilated more & more this was a terrible sign. I was supposed to get a emergency cervical cerclage the next morning everything was to late & I wish I knew before I didn’t have the care that I needed & I already had 2 bad experiences from pregnancy honestly I was devastated & hurt deep inside down & nobody understand unless you can related with me if you have cervix insufficiency too. Right now I am being positive and hopefully everything goes better this time❤️thank you for posting this video. I feel like their is hope for me❤️
Helo dear I also lose baby 3 time 2 time with opening cervix because and 1 time I lose baby because of no heartbeat Ivan understand I have same thing happen in my life tooo lose baby is very painful and really sad I understood and did u done cerclage in ur pergnancy have you try this way if yes plzz share with me too i also do in future ny cervix cerclage
This is just all a miracle. Thank you to the Lord. He is good in ALL situations. I'm sorry for everyone's loss. I lost my baby at 5 months and rescue cerclage did not work for me. Please know there is an abdominal cerclage that is available. It's placed higher up in the cervix..it has over 95% success rate.
I found out I have the same at 20 weeks. I'm now 30 weeks and I'm so scared to do the removal in about 7 weeks. Praying it goes well. But I havent even gotten my hospital bags packed yet for delivery. Just so nervous and scared.
Congratulations on your pregnancy. The removal is a 5 minutes procedure. Nothing like the placement. Don't stress yourself out. Get plenty of rest and breathing exercises used to calm me down. You have come so far. Enjoy the time you have left. I'll pray for you. Much blessings!
Wow you are so brave to have two pregnancies back to back . I lost my daughter at 20 weeks sept 29, 2019 due to incompetent cervix everything was going great normal pregnancy . Then one day my life changed i started dilating, and was 14 hours in labor thanks for this video you gave me hopes 🙏🏻❤️Even though iam scare to get pregnant again.
I lost my first baby at week 16. Due to incompetence cervix. After 1 1/2 years I am pregnant with week 7. I need to go for a preventative circlarge. After I lost my first baby, my family messed up. We left my own country. Please pray for my baby 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I need my baby
I went for week 11 ultrasound scan because VOG wanted me to put the knot. But, unfortunately my baby found with abnormalities (3,4 neural tube defects) . I repeated the scan again. Then, they requested me to terminate the baby in week 13. That is happened.
Hi Joelle, thanks for sharing your stories. I have just had my cervix cerlage 2 days ago at week 21 pregnancy and 1cm. I’m really hoping and praying my baby can stay until week 37 at least. Can you share how many hours did you stay on bed, what daily activities you did, and did you do something to avoid blood clot ( if you knew)? I was looking for the facebook page you shared in one of the video but could not find it. Thanks Joelle.
siri k hey Siri, my regret was not staying on bed after 28 weeks ( I was staying in hospital since week 21 and got discharged at week 28, here Drs and Nurses kept telling me to take walks etc.. ) and ended up gave birth at week 30 ( Baby then born at week 30 with many complications: Bleeding in brain, infections etc... had to undergo with Brain Surgery to put a Reservoir inside the head). He had to stay in Nicu for 2.5 months. Being born early it is very difficult to raise, weak at many things : weak muscles , weak sucks and swallowing etc.. even now 5 months of real age every week we go to hospital twice ... Depends on your situations if you don’t have worries with blood clots , staying on bed I believe will help a lot. When I was talking walks I felt pain but they said don’t worry, if I knew I would have staying on bed. How important to give baby a full term stay in our belly!
@@annang8 thank you so much for your reply I was staying in home bed rest,I m really scaring about situation bcoz I have twins.really don't know what I need to do.
siri k having twins even harder. Try not to do housework as you won’t know how much is too much. ..Ah they gave me a shot every day on the leg to prevent blood clot. How many weeks are you now? By 26 weeks should be able to feel their moves. I was lucky to save my baby due to mother instincts. H e did not move at all previous day, I went to labour without labour signals and had emergency c section, it was so tearing up see him go through so much, i had no rest days at all , walking next day with unhealed wound....Make sure if you feel not right then need to go to hospital.. You need to take care of yourself and trust your guts sometimes. Also need to stay positive so the babies feel same . Ill pray for you tonight Siri! Good luck and all the best.
I went in at my 21 week with a shortened cervix and got put on progesterone and was told to come every Friday for 4 weeks. My second week my doctor said I was stable and keep taking the medication , 2 days later I was in the hositpal with bad cramping and discharge and I was 80% effaced almost 2cm dilated and had an emergency cerclage. I’m not 27 weeks 5 days and went in today with cramping and discharge and I’m 1 cm dilated again and my cervix is opening and the cerclage is still in place ! They gave me a shot for the babies lungs bevause they think I’m working towards preterm labor but I’m so lost why they didn’t remove the stitches then . Like what happens if they rip ?? I’m terrified . They never said what this discharge is they ran bunch of swabs on me and everything was negative . But never said what this discharge is. I’m lost and lowkey terrified because this whole pregnancy has been wild
I lost my frist baby due to incompetent cervix. I put my cervical cerlarge at 22 weeks and four days, but it only work up to 29 weeks. I got my baby and he was at NICU for one month but we loss him. Now I'm pregnant ( 19 weeks) again and I already done cervical cerlarge at 15 weeks. But I'm scared. What should I do to prevent a preterm labour this time?
I just had my cerclage yesterday at 20 weeks and was 1cm dilated with .84cm of cervix left to sew. Praying everything goes well and we make it as far as possible. Mama's on here, and you, Joelle, were you on bedrest, and if so, for how long? The doctor that did mine said she doesn't recommend bedrest after the hospital stay, but I am wary and plan on doing modified anyway.
Hi after some week of cerclage ate you allowed to prepare meal or go outside for walk or not ?? After cerclage remaining period we should stay on bed ?
I watched this video a year ago when I lost my son at 22 weeks. I had an emergency cerclage with him at 19.5 weeks but it failed and our baby boy was born with wings. The ob told us next time we’d get a preventative cerclage and that way we’d never have to go through that pain again. I found this video after loosing him and learning about preventative cerclages and it gave me so much hope to hear your story. We had conceived our son Valentine’s Day last year and then we ended up conceiving our rainbow baby girl the week after Valentine’s Day this year. We felt this was our son sending us our rainbow and we were so excited. I got the preventative cerclage placed at 11.4 weeks in April and everything went perfect after that. Then at 16 weeks I asked if we could get the 17p (Makena) shots you help make sure I didn’t have any issues contracting too early. I got the first shot may 18th I started contracting immediately after that shot.... we lost our sweet baby girl may 31st at 18.3 weeks just shy of 2 weeks after starting the shot. I’m lost right now everyone said a preventative cerclage would have gotten us our rainbow and now here I am having lost 2 Angels not even a year apart. I’m a wreck, people are telling me I can get a TAC next time and that’ll do it but all I keep thinking is they said that about the cerclage. I’m so broken and so lost
Sorry for your loss momma.. I lost my baby girl last yr she was born at 24 weeks and she caught an infection..my fear is having it happen again.. :( but I pray for you to heal and for a Healthy safe pregnancy and of course rainbow baby !
Can you let me know if your cervix was still measured and monitored after your cerclage? I just had a cerclage at 16 weeks but the doctor said there won't be any monitoring now.
My older sister recently just lost her baby at 17wk. She had ivf done in another country and its such roller coaster for her. Just weeksbefore her miscarriage, i talk to her about getting a cerclage because she kept bleeding here and there with her shortening cervix. Her dr said that he doesnt think she needs it because its can be uncomfortable. And that she thinks because her cervix is closing thats why he didnt do it. But Tbh with you i just feel like i am blaming myself so much right now because i feel that the procedure can probably save her baby. Watching your videos gives me lots of hope. I just teared up because of how much us women have to go through. Motherhood is hard and rewarding as i do have a lil girl of my own. I just really wish my sis get to experience that also. I might have to show her your videos because it def. give me hope. She is coping right now and hoping she stay strong. Even myself i cant stop crying because my heart hurt for her so much.
My first was placed at 22 wks I was dilated 3 cm and hour glassing. I had him at 26 weeks he is 4 now. Currently with my second I’m 16 weeks, originally my dr told me 12weeks we would do the cerclage, but they postponed it to see if we were approved for progesterone shots..I’m kind of nervous cause now the surgeon wants to do it this Friday 😰 I am 16 weeks, is it too late? ... I am just nervous that they waited too long.
I just have a cerclage done with my twins at 18 weeks was dilated 4 cm And bed rest throughout my pregnancy It a little discomforting but looking forward to see my baby Good luck
Hi do you mind giving an update on how your pregnancy went with the cerclage and shots im 24 weeks i got the cerclage at 14 weeks and currently getting the weekly shots as well
Thanks for sharing your stories. God bless! There are lots of questions on my mind. Especially what to expect during and after a cerclage procedure. Were you on sedatives during the procedure? Did you have to spend a few days in hospital after the procedure? What is to be expected as normal afterwards? Pain? Bleeding? What does bedrest mean? No movements? I work 2 hours away from home. Would it be advisable to go back to work? Would I be able to do a long distance flight? Especially if im having my baby away from my home country? I cant believe I may be on pelvic bedrest from week 12😟 Pls answer. I'll be looking forward to your responses.
I had my cervical cerclage on Saturday. The cramping and spotting afterwards stopped on Saturday. I'm home and woke up to go to the bathroom and had one incident of spotting then nothing. What was your healing like the first week after your emergency surgery?
@@keepingupwithchanellll Baby and I are great. Thank you for asking. So I had a finger tip opening in my cervix. So they went in and put in one stitch to keep it closed. I had it taken out at 36 weeks and she came 4 days later.
@@tyreviews7059 how many weeks were you when you got your cerclage and it was a emergency cerclage rather than a preventative cerclage? because right now I'm 6 weeks but I lost my daughter at 19 weeks and I want to get a cerclage as soon as possible because I feel like I won't be able to hold the baby full term without any extra support
@@keepingupwithchanellll I'm sorry for your loss.😘 I had mine at 21 weeks. I had gone to an ultrasound appointment. And they found the opening and admitted me right away. It was a cerclage to stop pre term labor
@@tyreviews7059 I hear that a lot of emergency cerclage don't hold and thank you so much for replying because a lot of people aren't replying to their comments and it's not helping people that's in need of advice like me but you responded so God bless you and I am so happy to know that your emergency cerclage held the baby survived but where you open a lot or a little bit
Is it normal to have BH (false contractions) with a cerclage, I mean does it affect it in anyway? Pls help if you experienced that with a cerclage and how it was??? Thank you ladies
Ive always been curious with other surgeries in that area they can give a local anesthetic to numb the area but to remove the stitch they take you in for surgery. Did they say to you why they went this way? Still scared 8 years on and im the husband!! Dont know how my wife forgets about it.
For placement of my cerclages and for the removal of one they used the spinal anesthetic for all three of them. All 3 were done in an operating room. With cerclages there are a lot of factors that can go wrong and with the placement of the cervix local anestsia would not be effective because after this type of procedure even the uterus is irritated so I think (this is just my thought) that a local just on the cervix would not be enough to make the procedure tolerable.
I'm 24 weeks now 21st week done scan my cervix was 2.4 so doctor suggested to go for cervical cerclage. Done on 21st week 3days. After 2 weeks went for review they said again uterus is getting short so this time we can't do anything only thing is u hve to take complete bed rest. I'm in bed rest knw. Doctors said no chance for this boy baby. Baby weight is 547gram. I'm taking duphaston 3times progesterone night time... Need all ur prayers..

Thank you Joelle, for sharing your information. Hi everyone, i just had my preventative cerclage placed in. Just curious, what kind of daily activities you all are doing. I am a nurse by profession. I don’t know whether i should continue work or quit my job. Thank you all. Tc
Hey sam kaff ! I just had a preventative cerclage at 20 weeks- I’m also a nurse, was told to stop working so on bed rest now! I’m still up on my feet but try not to be on my feet more than half an hour that’s what my OB said! Hope all went well for you? Any tips as you would have had baby by now!
hello my frst cerclag placed at 20 week but due to infection baby didnt get survive now m again preganat so plz tell is this time i need preventive cerclage or emergent cerclag??
Helo dear what kind of infection u face after doing cerclage plzz can u tell me I will also do cerclage with my next pergnancy but I dont no about infection what kind of that plzzz explains if u dont mind
So glad to hear your little one made it with the emergency one all I’ve been able to find is success story’s when people get the I guess it’s called preventative cerclage but none like the one I had where it’s an emergency. I’d been having having contractions for a month or 2 but my ob kept ignoring me saying I was fine and wouldn’t bring me in to check me. Then out of nowhere I lost my mucus plug, not even 24 hours later I went to the er and I was dilating! They sent me home I was lost and had no clue what to do but I felt something was seriously wrong so I decided to check myself and good thing I did cause I found out my water sac was having out of my cervix I called my ob they wouldn’t listen so I called a high risk ob that another ob I spoke to said I needed to get sent up to and 5 minutes after leaving them a message I got a call back from my ob saying I needed to get there ASAP. They took one look and called an ambulance to transfer me to hospital next door then flight lifted me to this states top ob hospital. When I got there they said I needed a cerclage but couldn’t get one till I stopped contracting and if I had an infection and even if they could operator there was only a 10% chance they could do it without accidentally breaking my water. They kept me over night to monitor me and then the Next morning not only had I stopped contracting but my water sac had gone back up in me so they did the surgery and it was a success. Unfortunately I continued to contract after the surgery and I’m still contracting and as you know that’s a very dangerous thing to happen cause your cervix can rip. It all happened when I was 19 weeks and I’m now 20 weeks and 3 days and praying my contractions stop so i can carry him long enough for him to survive
It’s crazy just 11 months later I’m seeing this knowing that I ended up losing our sweet boy that June 30 at 22 weeks and went on to lose his baby sister at 18 weeks 11 months later on may 31
I found out I have an incompetent cervix with my first and only child when I was 21 weeks and got an emergency cerclage placed at 22 weeks... It only helped me out until 28 weeks but I was grateful for those weeks it did help me!! My daughter was born in April of 2018 and stayed in NICU for 61 days, and she is the best baby ever! I share this to say even when things may seem like they are going left trust in God that there will be light at the end of the tunnel. Us women are AMAZING.
How did you find out at 21 weeks that you needed a cerclage.?
I purposely looked for your video to share how your story helped me. I learned at 20 weeks I was dilating. The next day I was given emergent cerclage and placed on bed rest. I watched all, I mean everyone of your videos to gain hope. I was scared out of my mind! Each doctor visit, I felt defeated.... but I'll watch your video and felt better. I had my daughter at 38 weeks. Healthy! Thank you for sharing this intimate moment with us. It got me through my most trying times.
awww thank u for sharing I a now going through this
I’m glad you made it to term. Did you have cervical funnelling?
So glad I found your video. I’ve had 2 previous losses at 19 and 21 weeks. Thank you so much for giving me hope!
So glad i found your channel. I recently lost my daughter to IC at 16 weeks. It was a total and complete surprise to us bc i didnt have any contractions. When Bethpage came out, she was still in her sac...she was perfect.
So glad you are sharing your story. It really does give home to me and others who have IC. Also love your faith too! My faith is keeping me afloat.
I just lost my baby boy at 22weeks due to incompetent cervix. I had mild symptoms I chalked up to Braxton Hicks and low back pain I thought was just due to shift in gravity. Less than 12 hours later I was increasingly uncomfortable and left work for an ultrasound. I was 2cm dilated and cervix was 1.75. We went straight to the hospital and my water broke almost immediately and I gave birth within the hour. It is the worst experience I have ever gone through and continue to go through. Videos like yours help me not to lose hope for the next time. We suffered from infertility so this felt like an extra kick in the gut. Luckily we are with one of the best practices in the northeast and already seeing a MFM to plan and prepare for next time. I thank you so much for sharing your story.
gaby0202 my story is very similar. Very scary and sad but I’m determined.
I’m sorry for your loss. I had the same thing happen with my twins at 20w4d and they were born alive, I held them until their last breath until god took them up to heaven. So scared for my next pregnancy but I’m determined. Best wishes
R u ok now
I'm here at the hospital and I just undergone cerclage last night. Thank you for sharing your wonderful testimony. I really do believe that God used you to give light and hope to those who are experiencing it, like me. So thank you so much and also yes I appreciate your prayers. God bless you and your family 🙏😭❤.
How was your week of healing? Did you have any spotting during the week?
Emergency cerclage at 17 weeks with my son, it failed, pessary and progesterone shots, bed rest….had cerclage removed at 36 weeks and was 4cm dilated…my son was born at 38w4days…8lbs2oz…💙
Thank you so much for sharing your story. God bless you and your family! I had my first baby back in 2005 at 27 weeks...our stories were very similar with our first pregnancy as I didn't know anything was wrong until oh your cervix is opening, but for me it was too late and dangerous for the emergency cerclage. I was terrified. I held my son in preterm labor at a hospital 2 hours away for 16 days! And he was born at 2 lbs 7 oz...that was a long and scary journey that turned out well because my son survived and he will be 16 this summer! Praise God! Well unexpectedly I am pregnant again and knew I wanted a cerclage and am scheduled to get mine at 13 weeks this upcoming Tuesday. Hoping you read this and truly just wanted to ask if you would pray for me and my baby. I am nervous, but have faith that God will see me through as He did the last time around. You are so awesome for offering to pray for women in this video, it truly touched my heart. And your information made me hopeful that I will be a Mom of two as well💖 Thank you so much for being you!
Thank you for sharing your experience, i just had an emergency cerclage at 21 weeks and was looking for positive outcomes. Happy to hear you were blessed with a second little one ❤️❤️🙏
Thank you so much for being so open and honest with us. I’m so grateful to God your little ones are beautiful and healthy! I just had my emergent cerclage yesterday at 20 weeks and nervous out of my mind. I am a woman of faith and will continue to lean on those promises. Your family’s story has given hope to my own. God bless you Joelle!❤️❤️
How is it going for you??
How is baby knw
How is your baby? My gf just got an emergency cerclage at 20 wks
@@scotttisdale2773 we are actually celebrating my baby girls 2nd birthday today! thank you for asking and I pray a safe and healthy pregnancy course and delivery for you and your girlfriend! 🤎
I found out I had cervical incompetence at 17wks. Everything happened so fast from heavy cramping to extreme bleeding and blood clots. I knew what was happening but I didn't know why so I went to the hospital. It was so scary. (Being in the 2nd trimester I thought I was safe from miscarriage.) My baby boy didn't make it as my water broke and they saw that his arm was already sticking out of my cervix. I'm pregnant again this time at 11 weeks and coming in with this knowledge of my condition, I'd like to get a preventative cerclage.
how did this new pregnancy go?
Thank you for this video! It definitely gives me hope. I have an incompetent cervix and received my cercloge at 20 weeks. Im so scared but with prayer i hope to make it through. Please pray for me. Thank you and God Bless!
How did things go for you? I'm in a similar situation. Just praying day in and day out.
How do it go for you? My gf just had this.
Thank you for posting this! I go in Monday for a preventative cerclage. I had an in depth leep procedure a few years ago, so my doctor wants to do a preventative cerclage due to my shortened cervix. This is my first pregnancy so this is all new to me. Your videos have been so helpful!
I know I am late but as I went for my first appointment at 19 weeks 3 days I found out I had an IC, I had a rescue cerclage placed the same night. I was 1cm dilated prior to the surgery and during the surgery I dilated even more to 2-3 cm. Now I am 19weeks and 6 days and I’m just praying my baby boy will make it to full term. If I could please ask for anyone’s prayers I would wholeheartedly appreciate it
Did your baby survive? Asking cus I’m in the same situation. I hope he did
Yes my baby is super healthy and 4 months now!❤️
Aww I’m so happy for you. I’m on hospital bedrest til they decide to come. Hopefully longer I’m 25 weeks
@@melisapino15 How did everything go with your baby? Hope all is well. I have a cerclage. I'm 24 weeks. I got it 3 weeks ago.
@@ebonyrutledge22 Did you make it to full term?
Tha I you so much for sharing your story!! I just had to have an emergent cerclage at 21wks, and I was terrified and felt betrayed by my body. I hadn’t had any contractions or any sign that I was dilated. Luckily my OB thought she saw some funneling on my anatomy scan and I got in with the high risk doctors the same week!! The high risk doctor got me in for surgery the morning after she saw me! It is so good to hear your story, as J am still terrified I won’t make it to term. Also knowing if we want to have anymore children I will need this done again it is nice to hear how different your experiences were!!
How far along did you go? My gf just had this. So terrified.
I had an emergency cerclage placed at 20 weeks, ruptured at 20 and 6 days and lost my son at 22 and 5 with an infection and prolapsed cord. I am terrified to get pregnant again but I am also stubborn and determined to be a mother to a living child. I’m glad to see you had success and helps me to better make a decision. Thank you for sharing.
May the LORD bless you with many healthy sons in Jesus mighty name
Did you ever try again? I'm scared also
@@neciasamuel194 I absolutely did! I got a transabdominal cerclage (TAC) placed and I have an almost 2 year old daughter. 🥰 I had a beautiful pregnancy and she is my everything. I plan on trying again in about a year. I wish you well!
Thanks for sharing this video ! I have a similar case as yours and would like to ask you about the bed rest . My doc did not suggest complete bed rest but recommended to not perform any strenuous activity / pelvic rest / no heavy lifting and no long walks. I am scared to even walk for 10 mins . Please share your journey about the resting part post the procedure like how much did you walk , were you doing normal household chores (cooking etc.) .
I just had emergency cerclage at 20w, I was completely open by the time of surgery and because of that I was ordered strict bed rest for the next 8 weeks minimum. Basically putting no pressure on the cervix so I cannot even sit straight but only lean back. I think it does depend how serious your situation was, mine due to full opening ended up being worse that what they originally thought.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I’m going thru the same thing with my first, I feel so lucky and blessed to be at 35 weeks and 5 days. Doctor Matt in MSP actually did my emergency cerclage too! He’s the best and I’m so thankful for him every day!
Which week did you get the Cerclage done?
thank you for the positive encouragement. My wife and I are going through the same thing.
My last pregnancy I had a emergency cerclage at roughly 20 weeks with 1cm of cervix left. I'm now pregnant again with #2 and will have to have a preventative cerclage placed. My biggest worry is that I'd have to go on bedrest and not have a normal pregnancy :/ Your videos help me tremendously :)
At 20 weeks with 1 cm did you reach full term?
Yes did u complete....
everything was fine and normal at 18 weeks but then at 20 weeks i had pelvic pain and liquid discharge for over an hour, i called my doctor’s office and they told me to just take a tylenol and drink water, but when i called my mom(she’s not a nurse) she told me i needed to go to the emergency room immediately so i did and baby was gonna come out, unfortunately my water had already broken and he died :(
I've loss my first and 2nd baby due to cervical incompetence at 26 weeks, it was really painful, I thought I would breakdown but thanks to my husband, family and the Lord I was able to overcome the situation. I hope and pray that I can find a great Doctor here in the Philippines to do the Cerclage once I get pregnant again. Thank you for sharing your Story😇
have you had your cerclage and how are you faring. I'm about to have one too
Don’t babies survive at 26 weeks out side the womb?
@@jesussaves8022 not in third world countries
Thanks for posting this i needed to hear this .. i had a emergency cerclage and will be getting another one before i have another baby ...its great to hear the difference
Wow I have both of your children names saved as my baby names to choose for my son. This video was meant for me. 20 weeks 2cm dilated when I found out I needed a emergency cerclage. The doctor had a hard time closing my cervix because my water bag is resting on the opening. I am praying to past even 24-26 weeks just to give my son hope. I am in shambles and currently on bed rest. Trying to keep it together for son, he is so healthy and strong.
What happened den
Thank you for sharing your story, i have a question, for your second pregnancy did you take the progesterone shots and were you give antibiotics after the second cerclage?
I’m in my second pregnancy and I have to go for a preventative cerclage and I want to take all precautions
25Weeks with cerclage in since 14weeks still nervous about loosing baby but keeping my hopes up

Were u in hospital till your delivery.... I got emergency stiches in my 20 weeks and m in hospital..
@@deepikapandey7630 how is baby knw
Mind if i ask how its done... Am to get one at 12 weeks?
Thank you so much for sharing you experiences. This is my first pregnancy and I learned at my 18 week fetal anatomy scan that I had a very short cervix (this past Tuesday). Yesterday, on Wednesday, I went into my OB for a follow up and got the terrible news that I was 1 cm dilated. Luckily I was able to get scheduled at another hospital with one of the best surgeons in the county. I had my cerclage put in last night and the procedure went so well. I had minor pain and took just one tylenol and zero bleeding. I am praying so so hard that my baby boy stays in till June. These next two weeks will be filled with anxiety and worrisome, but at the same time hope. I’m so happy to have decided on the cerclage procedure because waiting for the progesterone suppositories seemed too risky. Again, thank you so much for this video. You have given me so much more hope and I pray that these next two weeks to be in “the safe zone” that God continues to bless me in carrying my precious miracle. Thank you thank you
I had an emergency cerclage 2 months ago too and due in June. Hope you are doing well and keeping that bun inside the oven xx
bhagyashree halbe thank you for your kind words! I’m 29 weeks and 5 days today. :) It’s been a crazy roller coaster, but God is so great. How are you doing? I hope all is well!
@@ELLE-yg6lk that's amazing and I'm so glad to hear that!! I am 29 weeks and 3 days so similar to you :)
Everyday I hope and pray to reach 37 weeks. I've been signed off work ever since my cerclage in week 20 and stayed at home. Its been most difficult but I'm happy to do everything i can to keep the miracle inside. Are you on bedrest or modified bedrest too? I'll pray that both of us deliver healthy babies xxx
@@bhagyabs17 That's so wonderful!! I'm on modified bedrest although my doctors say it's "unnecessary." But I'm following my heart and doing what feels best for my body and baby. I work from home and do school full-time from home as well, so that's helped a lot. At first, I was terrified of walking or getting out of the house, but now I go out on the weekends (minimal walking) and I'm currently planning our baby shower for next week! So I've been doing a little more than usual, but everything still feels great. Thank goodness!!
@@ELLE-yg6lk so true we don't really know if the modified bedrest works but we've come this far I'm sure it's helped. I've been on my feet at home a little bit more too and hope it stays the same. Wow enjoy your baby shower hun!!!
After cerclage, you mentioned that you did not let the doctors do vaginal ultrasound. How about checking the cervix? In my last pregnancy, they did vaginal ultrasound and also used a Pap smear like tool to check my cervix. I had an emergency cerclage at 15 weeks, we lost our baby at 21 weeks. I’m trying to find what can I do to prevent any pressure to cervix next time. Please advise on how your doctors checked/measured your cervix after cerclage.
I’m pregnant with baby number 3. I am 13 weeks & 4 days and I am getting a cervical cerclage in 4 days now since My OB said my cervix is stating to shorten now and I feel nerves & scared so yes Im going to be praying a lot hopefully everything goes well & please send your prayers too 👏🏼but I do whatever I can to save my baby # 3 life & be a mother for once in my life and i have no children at all do to for having cervix insufficiency. I wish I knew sooner but the good thing I know now .My 1st baby I lost in 18 weeks & baby number 2 I lost it in 21 weeks & 5 days I went into premature labor I was dilated 2cm. I knew this was a bad sign & I was so scared then I had to get a emergency cerclage depending how my body is reacting but since I was actively in labor I kept dilated more & more this was a terrible sign. I was supposed to get a emergency cervical
cerclage the next morning everything was to late & I wish I knew before I didn’t have the care that I needed & I already had 2 bad experiences from pregnancy honestly I was devastated & hurt deep inside down & nobody understand unless you can related with me if you have cervix insufficiency too. Right now I am being positive and hopefully everything goes better this time❤️thank you for posting this video. I feel like their is hope for me❤️
Helo dear I also lose baby 3 time 2 time with opening cervix because and 1 time I lose baby because of no heartbeat Ivan understand I have same thing happen in my life tooo lose baby is very painful and really sad I understood and did u done cerclage in ur pergnancy have you try this way if yes plzz share with me too i also do in future ny cervix cerclage
This is just all a miracle. Thank you to the Lord. He is good in ALL situations. I'm sorry for everyone's loss. I lost my baby at 5 months and rescue cerclage did not work for me. Please know there is an abdominal cerclage that is available. It's placed higher up in the cervix..it has over 95% success rate.
I found out I have the same at 20 weeks. I'm now 30 weeks and I'm so scared to do the removal in about 7 weeks. Praying it goes well. But I havent even gotten my hospital bags packed yet for delivery. Just so nervous and scared.
Congratulations on your pregnancy. The removal is a 5 minutes procedure. Nothing like the placement. Don't stress yourself out. Get plenty of rest and breathing exercises used to calm me down. You have come so far. Enjoy the time you have left. I'll pray for you. Much blessings!
Wow you are so brave to have two pregnancies back to back . I lost my daughter at 20 weeks sept 29, 2019 due to incompetent cervix everything was going great normal pregnancy . Then one day my life changed i started dilating, and was 14 hours in labor thanks for this video you gave me hopes 🙏🏻❤️Even though iam scare to get pregnant again.
I lost my first baby at week 16. Due to incompetence cervix. After 1 1/2 years I am pregnant with week 7. I need to go for a preventative circlarge. After I lost my first baby, my family messed up. We left my own country. Please pray for my baby 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I need my baby
How your pregnancy went plz share
I went for week 11 ultrasound scan because VOG wanted me to put the knot. But, unfortunately my baby found with abnormalities (3,4 neural tube defects) . I repeated the scan again. Then, they requested me to terminate the baby in week 13. That is happened.

Baby born na
Hi Joelle, thanks for sharing your stories. I have just had my cervix cerlage 2 days ago at week 21 pregnancy and 1cm. I’m really hoping and praying my baby can stay until week 37 at least. Can you share how many hours did you stay on bed, what daily activities you did, and did you do something to avoid blood clot ( if you knew)? I was looking for the facebook page you shared in one of the video but could not find it. Thanks Joelle.
Anna Ng please let me know your best rest conditions . please help.even am also get cerclage bcoz my cervix only 1cm
siri k hey Siri, my regret was not staying on bed after 28 weeks ( I was staying in hospital since week 21 and got discharged at week 28, here Drs and Nurses kept telling me to take walks etc.. ) and ended up gave birth at week 30 ( Baby then born at week 30 with many complications: Bleeding in brain, infections etc... had to undergo with Brain Surgery to put a Reservoir inside the head). He had to stay in Nicu for 2.5 months. Being born early it is very difficult to raise, weak at many things : weak muscles , weak sucks and swallowing etc.. even now 5 months of real age every week we go to hospital twice ... Depends on your situations if you don’t have worries with blood clots , staying on bed I believe will help a lot. When I was talking walks I felt pain but they said don’t worry, if I knew I would have staying on bed. How important to give baby a full term stay in our belly!
@@annang8 thank you so much for your reply I was staying in home bed rest,I m really scaring about situation bcoz I have twins.really don't know what I need to do.
siri k having twins even harder. Try not to do housework as you won’t know how much is too much. ..Ah they gave me a shot every day on the leg to prevent blood clot. How many weeks are you now? By 26 weeks should be able to feel their moves. I was lucky to save my baby due to mother instincts. H e did not move at all previous day, I went to labour without labour signals and had emergency c section, it was so tearing up see him go through so much, i had no rest days at all , walking next day with unhealed wound....Make sure if you feel not right then need to go to hospital.. You need to take care of yourself and trust your guts sometimes. Also need to stay positive so the babies feel same . Ill pray for you tonight Siri! Good luck and all the best.
@@annang8 today I completed my 22 week.
I went in at my 21 week with a shortened cervix and got put on progesterone and was told to come every Friday for 4 weeks. My second week my doctor said I was stable and keep taking the medication , 2 days later I was in the hositpal with bad cramping and discharge and I was 80% effaced almost 2cm dilated and had an emergency cerclage. I’m not 27 weeks 5 days and went in today with cramping and discharge and I’m 1 cm dilated again and my cervix is opening and the cerclage is still in place ! They gave me a shot for the babies lungs bevause they think
I’m working towards preterm labor but I’m so lost why they didn’t remove the stitches then . Like what happens if they rip ?? I’m terrified . They never said what this discharge is they ran bunch of swabs on me and everything was negative . But never said what this discharge is. I’m lost and lowkey terrified because this whole pregnancy has been wild
Hey, how it went for you?
I lost my frist baby due to incompetent cervix. I put my cervical cerlarge at 22 weeks and four days, but it only work up to 29 weeks. I got my baby and he was at NICU for one month but we loss him. Now I'm pregnant ( 19 weeks) again and I already done cervical cerlarge at 15 weeks. But I'm scared. What should I do to prevent a preterm labour this time?
I just had my cerclage yesterday at 20 weeks and was 1cm dilated with .84cm of cervix left to sew.
Praying everything goes well and we make it as far as possible. Mama's on here, and you, Joelle, were you on bedrest, and if so, for how long? The doctor that did mine said she doesn't recommend bedrest after the hospital stay, but I am wary and plan on doing modified anyway.
How was the rest of your pregnancy?
Hi after some week of cerclage ate you allowed to prepare meal or go outside for walk or not ?? After cerclage remaining period we should stay on bed ?
I watched this video a year ago when I lost my son at 22 weeks. I had an emergency cerclage with him at 19.5 weeks but it failed and our baby boy was born with wings. The ob told us next time we’d get a preventative cerclage and that way we’d never have to go through that pain again. I found this video after loosing him and learning about preventative cerclages and it gave me so much hope to hear your story. We had conceived our son Valentine’s Day last year and then we ended up conceiving our rainbow baby girl the week after Valentine’s Day this year. We felt this was our son sending us our rainbow and we were so excited. I got the preventative cerclage placed at 11.4 weeks in April and everything went perfect after that. Then at 16 weeks I asked if we could get the 17p (Makena) shots you help make sure I didn’t have any issues contracting too early. I got the first shot may 18th I started contracting immediately after that shot.... we lost our sweet baby girl may 31st at 18.3 weeks just shy of 2 weeks after starting the shot. I’m lost right now everyone said a preventative cerclage would have gotten us our rainbow and now here I am having lost 2 Angels not even a year apart. I’m a wreck, people are telling me I can get a TAC next time and that’ll do it but all I keep thinking is they said that about the cerclage. I’m so broken and so lost
Don't know much about Makena, but could that be to blame?
omggg this is so sad sorry for your loss
Soory for you loss dear,, but what’s that makena shot? Never heard of it before?
Sorry for your loss momma.. I lost my baby girl last yr she was born at 24 weeks and she caught an infection..my fear is having it happen again.. :( but I pray for you to heal and for a Healthy safe pregnancy and of course rainbow baby !
Can you let me know if your cervix was still measured and monitored after your cerclage? I just had a cerclage at 16 weeks but the doctor said there won't be any monitoring now.
My older sister recently just lost her baby at 17wk. She had ivf done in another country and its such roller coaster for her. Just weeksbefore her miscarriage, i talk to her about getting a cerclage because she kept bleeding here and there with her shortening cervix. Her dr said that he doesnt think she needs it because its can be uncomfortable. And that she thinks because her cervix is closing thats why he didnt do it. But Tbh with you i just feel like i am blaming myself so much right now because i feel that the procedure can probably save her baby. Watching your videos gives me lots of hope. I just teared up because of how much us women have to go through. Motherhood is hard and rewarding as i do have a lil girl of my own. I just really wish my sis get to experience that also. I might have to show her your videos because it def. give me hope. She is coping right now and hoping she stay strong. Even myself i cant stop crying because my heart hurt for her so much.
How it went with your sister?
M just worried about progesterone effects on babies . And their sexual orientation and read really scary studies online 😢
With your emergency cerclarge, did you experience pains after the surgery?
Thank you so much for making this video!
Is it painful removing stitch?
Did you take some antibiotics after cerclaje? How did mai tain your intimate igiene, în order to not contact some infection?
Did you take somting?
What was the cerclage removal like with the second pregnancy? I don't know if I missed that in the video.
Diane Bunn it was uncomfortable but we did it in the clinic and it took like 5 minutes
My first was placed at 22 wks I was dilated 3 cm and hour glassing. I had him at 26 weeks he is 4 now. Currently with my second I’m 16 weeks, originally my dr told me 12weeks we would do the cerclage, but they postponed it to see if we were approved for progesterone shots..I’m kind of nervous cause now the surgeon wants to do it this Friday 😰 I am 16 weeks, is it too late? ... I am just nervous that they waited too long.
I just have a cerclage done with my twins at 18 weeks was dilated 4 cm
And bed rest throughout my pregnancy
It a little discomforting but looking forward to see my baby
Good luck
@@sharimapalmer8798 let me how instructions have u taken in bedrest
Hi do you mind giving an update on how your pregnancy went with the cerclage and shots im 24 weeks i got the cerclage at 14 weeks and currently getting the weekly shots as well
Thanks for sharing your stories. God bless! There are lots of questions on my mind. Especially what to expect during and after a cerclage procedure. Were you on sedatives during the procedure? Did you have to spend a few days in hospital after the procedure? What is to be expected as normal afterwards? Pain? Bleeding? What does bedrest mean? No movements? I work 2 hours away from home. Would it be advisable to go back to work? Would I be able to do a long distance flight? Especially if im having my baby away from my home country? I cant believe I may be on pelvic bedrest from week 12😟 Pls answer. I'll be looking forward to your responses.
Enitan Awoga I got a spinal so I did not feel anything while the cerclage was being placed.
I had my cervical cerclage on Saturday. The cramping and spotting afterwards stopped on Saturday. I'm home and woke up to go to the bathroom and had one incident of spotting then nothing. What was your healing like the first week after your emergency surgery?
how are you and the baby and what type of cerclage did you get?
@@keepingupwithchanellll Baby and I are great. Thank you for asking. So I had a finger tip opening in my cervix. So they went in and put in one stitch to keep it closed. I had it taken out at 36 weeks and she came 4 days later.

@@keepingupwithchanellll I'm sorry for your loss.😘 I had mine at 21 weeks. I had gone to an ultrasound appointment. And they found the opening and admitted me right away. It was a cerclage to stop pre term labor

Is it normal to have BH (false contractions) with a cerclage, I mean does it affect it in anyway? Pls help if you experienced that with a cerclage and how it was??? Thank you ladies
Can I asked what did you do to make time fly by quick on bed rest??
Did you have any aches and pains after cerclage or during pregnancy with cerclage
Thanku so much for your experience sharing with us... doc told me for this.. i m worried about it
after the second cerclage did u bed rest and if u did for how long ?! thank you
Ive always been curious with other surgeries in that area they can give a local anesthetic to numb the area but to remove the stitch they take you in for surgery. Did they say to you why they went this way?
Still scared 8 years on and im the husband!! Dont know how my wife forgets about it.
For placement of my cerclages and for the removal of one they used the spinal anesthetic for all three of them. All 3 were done in an operating room. With cerclages there are a lot of factors that can go wrong and with the placement of the cervix local anestsia would not be effective because after this type of procedure even the uterus is irritated so I think (this is just my thought) that a local just on the cervix would not be enough to make the procedure tolerable.
@@joactive sorry for placement I understand, for the removal im a bit confused by.
I'm 24 weeks now 21st week done scan my cervix was 2.4 so doctor suggested to go for cervical cerclage. Done on 21st week 3days.

So glad to hear your little one made it with the emergency one all I’ve been able to find is success story’s when people get the I guess it’s called preventative cerclage but none like the one I had where it’s an emergency. I’d been having having contractions for a month or 2 but my ob kept ignoring me saying I was fine and wouldn’t bring me in to check me. Then out of nowhere I lost my mucus plug, not even 24 hours later I went to the er and I was dilating! They sent me home I was lost and had no clue what to do but I felt something was seriously wrong so I decided to check myself and good thing I did cause I found out my water sac was having out of my cervix I called my ob they wouldn’t listen so I called a high risk ob that another ob I spoke to said I needed to get sent up to and 5 minutes after leaving them a message I got a call back from my ob saying I needed to get there ASAP. They took one look and called an ambulance to transfer me to hospital next door then flight lifted me to this states top ob hospital. When I got there they said I needed a cerclage but couldn’t get one till I stopped contracting and if I had an infection and even if they could operator there was only a 10% chance they could do it without accidentally breaking my water. They kept me over night to monitor me and then the Next morning not only had I stopped contracting but my water sac had gone back up in me so they did the surgery and it was a success. Unfortunately I continued to contract after the surgery and I’m still contracting and as you know that’s a very dangerous thing to happen cause your cervix can rip. It all happened when I was 19 weeks and I’m now 20 weeks and 3 days and praying my contractions stop so i can carry him long enough for him to survive
It’s crazy just 11 months later I’m seeing this knowing that I ended up losing our sweet boy that June 30 at 22 weeks and went on to lose his baby sister at 18 weeks 11 months later on may 31
