I went into labor and gave natural birth to my beautiful daughter Madison Rey Vasquez at 20 weeks on May 23rd, 2019. They placed her in my arms, she took one breathe and moved her arm towards me and passed away. It was the hardest and the most painful day of my life, physically, emotionally, and mentally. I still wake up each morning thinking she is still in my tummy, only to realize she is not. It's been the hardest days of my and my fiance's lives. But your video has given me some hope and made me feel less alone and empty inside. I suffer from an incompetent cervix as well. I just wanted to take the time to say I'm so very sorry for you loss and thank you for sharing your story and helping provide a ray of light for me in these darkest of times. You have helped me more than you will ever know. I know next pregnancy I will need a cerclage and I feel better about it now.
Although this condition is pretty rare, and I honestly don't know of anyone else other than me that has this condition (aside from the FB group and those of you on youtube), I feel comforted knowing that I am not alone in this.
I am very happy and thankful for all the women I have "met" because of this as well! I feel the same way with talking to people about pregnancy that don't have IC - i know what you mean!
You are giving me hope! I am 24 weeks now and had a cerclage placed at 21 weeks. I look forward to my next milestone of 28 weeks but I am taking it one week at a time. Be blessed!
I just wanted to tell you that you should feel blessed to detect this in time, I was pregnant at 21 weeks I lost my baby boy, it was too late when I went to the emergency room I was already dilated about 8cm and doctors could not do anything, because there was not Way to tie, right now thanks to God I'm pregnant again and waiting for the cercleje I wish you the best, blessings
Cecilia Arteaga i too lost my baby boy because doctor didnt catch it in time. Its the worst ever and now im pregnant with my 2nd and hoping for the best
My Dr found out that I had short cervix when I was a little bit under 17 weeks pregnant they scheduled me an appt with a high risk Dr to see what they should do about it. They didn't end up giving me the surgery because i guess the sac or whatever was already hour glassing to low in my cervix and they said there was a chance they can rupture it during the surgery. I ended up having my baby girl at 22 weeks, unfortunately the NICU here doesn't like to help infants unless they are 24 weeks. We got to spend almost 2 hours with her before the Lord called her home😔. That was last year on January 22, 2018. I am now currently pregnant with my baby boy and have my scheduled appt to get my cerclage removed on October 15th I'm so excited and nervous, I would be exactly 36 weeks when they remove it.
Cecilia Arteaga hello dear, me too lost my baby boy at 24 weeks. Dr didn’t help me. Me wants to get pregnant again. How soon did you get pregnant and precautions did you take next time??
Wow. I just discovered your video because I was looking up cerclage removal videos. I am currently 32 weeks pregnant with my daughter. I too have been diagnosed with having an incompetent cervix. I unfortunately was diagnosed after I had my son (February 26,2022) at 22 weeks. I struggled with so much guilt because I felt like it was my fault or something I did or didn't do. Not a day goes by that I don't talk to Kayden or tell him I love him. I am so thankful for this lil stitch because it has made it possible for me to have another chance at motherhood. Thank you for sharing your story
Got my cerclage removed today without any pain medication. I am from India. Before I went in was pretty nervous after watching few videos and posts online. My experience: It was very uncomfortable when they are trying to open you to find the cerclage and snip it. I had a mcdonald knot. But not painful at all. It was over in less than 10 minutes, am 37 weeks i had it placed at 16 weeks when my cervix length shortened to 2.5 cms. It was no where bad as I imagined it would be. Post removal there was no bleeding. I am happily walking like nothing happend. NST results look great.
I had my son at 25 weeks 10 years ago and I’m pregnant again and I have to get the McDonald Cerclage along with the weekly progesterone shots. I’m so scared for the cerclage, but I don’t want to deliver early again. Luckily my son survived and he’s now a healthy 10 year old.
hi ladies my name is tina and i have an incompetent cervix also, i had 2 babies with the help of a cerclage, 1 preterm baby the other full term. I understand fully all the pain and fear of this procedure people dont understand how blessed we are as women to still be able to deliver a baby inspite of our incompetent cervix"s omg the pain ooh wee but the joy when i saw my daughters was priceless. My first 1 was 19 years ago and my last 1 16 years ago.
I lost my twin boys at 24 weeks due to IC ...hoping for the best things to come ..next time I need to get preventative cerclage and keep my baby safe..with prayers of my twin boys from heaven...sending loads of love to heaven
I have my appointment next week at 21 weeks. Cervix 1.3 too. I’m scared and emotional and researching a lot. I dont know how I feel right now, just crying watching you.
I'm so thankful that you talked about your experience. I just found out on FrIday that I have an Incompetent Cervix and they had to put a cerclage in. Its nice to hear form other people that have gone through this and had good results. it gives us hope that we will make it to the end. Thank you
Wow I know exactly how you feel I also just got surgery done 2 weeks ago and I was terrified and now I am still nervous but I have to keep my stich in until I'm about 34 to 36 weeks I'm 22 weeks now and I also went thru surgery by myself I'm still nervous ans scared but I want what's best for my son I'm having a boy as well im due in December thank you for sharing your story about your cerclage
I’m going in to be measured at 4 weeks. I’m 11 weeks now and so nervous about getting a cerclage. She told me a cerclage like a drawstring to close cervix. I hope it goes well 😢😂🤦🏽♀️😭
I just had mine removed today at 34 +6 after having it put in at 21 weeks. I'm so glad it is out as my baby is pushing down so hard it was getting really uncomfortable. I have some cramping and bleeding. Just looking forward to having my baby boy here safely after having 5 children ... 2 of which were born premature at 24 weeks and 27 weeks.
On March 10th I went to the ER for a lot of vaginal discharge, they only tested me for infection, they had me swab myself and it came back negative. I was sent home with no exam done. 2 days later I’m back at a different ER because I felt something in me; it was my cell membrane, and it ruptured. I was going into labor at 20 weeks, and six hours later I delivered my son, Thomas. He didn’t make it it was just too early. I was informed the cause was an incomplete cervix and if I had an exam that day at the hospital it would have been seen and I could have gotten the cerclage. I’m trying to go back to normal life but it’s so hard. My next pregnancy I’ll need to cerclage but I am so scared to get pregnant again after all of this.
I went through the exact same situation as you. Same gestational age and lost a beautiful son also last June 2016. Please know that it is something that you’ll always remember and it may never get easier but definitely makes you stronger. I’m currently 34 weeks pregnant with a cerclage and I’m expecting a baby girl in June. I’m still an anxious mom and still doubt that this all really is happening but know there is a community of woman that have al gone through the same thing and have made it through. Please stay strong. And when you are ready emotionally physically and mentally you will bring a baby home.
Thank you so much for opening up and sharing your story as I am going through the same experience you had at the moment and trying my best to stay strong and not be scared. - Renee from Melbourne Australia
Watching this gives me hope I’ve been seeing your videos thank you for sharing. I lost my twins girl do to this condition at 18 weeks. Doctor told me that I will need a cerclage for every pregnancy. I really haven’t seen anything positive online hearing your story gives me hope
Araseli! Hey there hun! I am so sorry you lost your beautiful girls because of this! I am glad we can bring you hope. Are you trying for more children?
Araseli R I lost my twin boys in November 2017 due to incompetent cervix. My wife and I were able to conceive again and I had a cerclage place as a preventative measure at 12 weeks. I’m 26 weeks right now with our son. ☺️ so there is hope I know this is a year old but just wanted to give you hope. So far so good for me no complications and my cervix is long and strong thanks to the cerclage.
Thank you so much and congratulations. This is my first pregnancy and I had an emergency cerclage placed last Friday and I remember EVERY detail. Anesthesia doesn't work well for me either. I'm heading over to your bed rest video before I go nuts in this house lol.
hey...i found your channel last night wen i was serching how it will be a cerclage removal( i will go tomorow and i am afraid,i have 37 weeks)i hope it will be ok(sorry my english, i dont write correctly i am from Romania) you have a good channel and it helps me...have a nice day...i will look back at your videos.i am sad i dont found your channel erlyer durring my cerclaje,my rest in bett.
I loss my daughter at 22 weeks and 6 days and had to get the cerclage removed I’m currently pregnant now and I’m on week 33 and I’m getting so excited and nervous
I'm so sorry you lost your beautiful daughter. Congratulations with your new baby getting closer to your due date. Praying for a safe delivery and baby as well as for you.
Thank you Joelle for sharing your story :) I feel so comforted right now knowing that I'm not alone with this shortened cervix thing and you are the living evidence that my pregnancy could be successful like yours😊 will be having my first baby and i'm on my 24 weeks and 4 days right now and have my cervix 2.5cm. I didn't have cerclage put on me but I got progesterone and isuxsoprine medications to prevent pre term labor and absolytely bed rest.
i also have incompetent cervix...it was diagnosed feb 2012 when i noticed my sons sac of water was bulging in the birth canal.. i was 21 weeks. When did you get your stitches? my first time back in 2013 i got it done at 20 weeks. i am now currently pregnant with my 4th baby and i got it this time at 15 weeks.. i get it removed in 6 day.. kinda cant wait.. im ready to have my little girl. after 3 boys i cant believe i finally got my girl.
I've had 3 cerclage, with my 3 pregnancies and I had the same thing happen to me the doctor was never able to remove my cerclage in the office I always end up in the operating room. With my first the spinal worked but with my other too they had to end up putting me sleep because it never worked and I always give birth the same day natural because the anesthesia does not work anymore..I'm now pregnant with my 4th let's see how it goes I'm very scared this time around because it will be a 4th cerclage and I hope my cervix can handle it.
sending you love and prayers for a strong cervix and cerclage! what a blessing I always thought I would have a large family but with IC I don't know how many I will have!
Hi Jeniley glez.., my first pregnancy was normal n I had a healthy girl in 2014, in 2017 I couldn’t recognize the symptoms of incompetent cervix n lost my baby boy at 23wks.... god had blessed me again n now Iam 11wks 5days pregnant. I hav been advised for cerclage n bed rest. As the doctors say every pregnancy is different did u hav the incompetency detected for each pregnancy or did u precautionary cerclage. Ur info could help me. Thanks in advance.
Hey everyone i have had 5 babies 2 prematurely my daughter was 25 weeks and she survived and shes 19 years old and my son sadly passed away 24 weeks old he would off been 18 years old this year.. i was 19 years old and experienced this .. i left it 2 years and got marriaged and then had got pregnant and i was unsure what to do ?? They said because off what happened i can have a cervical stitch and ill carry my baby better i did this ! And my son was born 38 weeks he is 15 years now and i had a boy back in 2022 with the same thing cervical stitch and full term 40 weeks and expecting again with a boy 😂 stitch is getting taken out in 3 weeks time to have my son in November !! Thats my last now .. good luck to new mummys experiencing this cervical stitch x
I can understand bedrest will make you depress so start physical activities as dr allow you then you will come out from axienty try to relax and busy youself as you can.
I did sit up and I did move around the house. I just did not carry things, go on long walking, trips, and made sure to rest. I did sit at my desk for like an hour a day to work and then i would lay and relax either in my bed or my recliner. I did not go down too many stairs so my husband would do my laundry but then i folded it and put it away. from weeks 21-26 I was so nervous I barely moved but when I got to 32 weeks I started to do a bit more around the house and my body responded well to that so i would do things like the dishes or cook. Once i hit 34 weeks i got even more adventurous and organized parts of the nursery and things. But after my cerclage was placed I did not want to move i was so scared
+Joelle Suess I to had a emergency cerclage placed at 16 weeks and 5 days with 1.5 cm and dilation. I was nervous that I didn't do anything. However, for me, I have 2 small kids that I have to tend to which makes it harder to rest.😔 I'm now 19 weeks and staying positive and trusting in God. Your message was so informative because I thought I wasn't suppose to move at all. Your story is so encouraging and I appreciate you for being so transparent about your situation. It isn't easy, but I believe I'll have the same testimony as you. Thank u so much!☺
Im 20 weeks and I have mine done 2 days ago. It was torture, I was feeling everything and they have to put me to sleep. Im been actually traumatized about this.
This is my 4 pregnancy my 4 the cerclage and my last 3 was successful however each and every experience was different the first and second time taken it out was hell! My 3 rd time different doctor was amazing ! And amazing birth ! Thank god my babies made it I pray my last baby makes it also through this
Wow. Glad you had a better doctor for the 3rd one. I have one I and will have it taken out next month probably. Debating whether or not to get aesthetics or not. Any recommendations after your experiences? Thanks
hi were you able to go back to work afterwards. I'm 20 weeks i had mind done when i was 15 weeks. some people said after they removed the cerclage I'll have to go in bed rest until is time to give birth. thanks for making this video.
So ladies just relax dont put presure on you utress do your work liston to you body after cercalge do bedrest 1 month then slowly strat working one by one and every month talk to your dr about your physicall activites.if dr allow you then do it dont worry be happy.
Does short cervix mean that it's shorting early or does that mean you always have a short cervix I wish someone explained this to me but I was told I had a short cervix when I was pregnant with my daughter but it didn't seem like it was a big deal to them I had my regular check ups every 2 weeks then my grandma passed away in September of 2021 so I ended up going into premature labor at 32 weeks and they stopped it after 3 days then I got out and went to a different hospital because I was in pain the did an ffn test and it was positive It mean you can give birth in two weeks so I told my ob and she didn't seem to care saying that those test are wrong and sure enough I had her at 35 weeks in a hospital with no doctor or my ob wasn't there just two nurses and a nicu person and she was born healthy with no problems but I feel like they let me down about not caring for me or my daughter
Hlo joelle. I also have d same thing u have. I want to know what doctors do for delivery. When they remove stiches n normal or csearian, which delivery they prefer. Plj ans as soon as possible
Hi I'm also 28 weeks pregnant with my third. This is my third time getting the cerclage done, my first child was torture she put so much pain on my body. My second child wasn't as bad I didn't have many complications with her. Now with this pregnancy I've been sick, I've been diagnose with gestational diabetes, and now I'm having so much pain I can barely walk. Did you have vaginal pain with your cerclage ?
I did a little bit! It felt more like pressure and uncomfortable! You give me so much hope Lucha I am so scared to have another baby but I know I want more kids. Were you on bed rest with all of your pregnancies?
You had a spinal during the removal of a mcdonald cerlcage? That is kind of odd. I didn't get that luxury. I have an incompetent cervix and I had my cerclage removed in the doctor's office. No pain medicine or anything. And it hurt like hell. /:
Yes! I delivered naturally twice after having a cerclage in pregnancy. The contractions though for me were unbareable compared to my first 2 births. The gyno said it can be scar tissue from the cerclage that causes more pain when contracting
I am currently 21 weeks pregnant and just found out my cervix is 1 cm dilated they prescribed progesterone to insert vaginally. They couldn't put the circlage because I've been bleeding on and off. IM hoping the progesterone helps and I get to stay pregnant til the time comes to give birth
Rule 1 if you do lot of physical activity and travel then may be it will hurt you in removing process.otherwise it will be just like soneone just cut one hair of you so what is the logic of pain.its a thread just cut tadaaaaaa😅😊
I just found out my cervix is 1 1/2 is low but they are not able to do cerclage because i have to be atleast 2 cm open i am soo scared to lose my baby al 20 weeks 4 days
I lost my baby at 20 weeks because I didn’t know I had an incompetent cervix. It’s hard. I really hope everything worked out. I currently 34 weeks pregnant with my second baby with a cerclage. I really do hope everything turned out great! Hugs
I didn't have my Natural birth because they didn't take my stitch out all the way which they thought they did. I was told I severe Scar tissue. 11 months after my sons birth I went to my doctors uncomfortable there and they found the rest of cerclage.
Did anyone feel discomfort with the cerclage? And at what week did it start? I feel discomfort and tightening at the area of the cerclage when I sit for a long time (I work).
I did feel some. As the baby gets bigger and my son always was low I felt more pressure on my cervix which is why I got it removed at 35 weeks when most wait until 37 or longer. Mine was so uncomfortable. I didn't sit much but in the car sometimes I did feel that tightening or discomfort but that is normal because when we sit the blood flow in that area is greater.
I went into labor and gave natural birth to my beautiful daughter Madison Rey Vasquez at 20 weeks on May 23rd, 2019. They placed her in my arms, she took one breathe and moved her arm towards me and passed away. It was the hardest and the most painful day of my life, physically, emotionally, and mentally.

I'm so sorry you lost your beautiful daughter. Congratulations with your new baby getting closer to your due date. Praying for a safe delivery and baby as well as for you.
Thank you Joelle for sharing your story :) I feel so comforted right now knowing that I'm not alone with this shortened cervix thing and you are the living evidence that my pregnancy could be successful like yours😊 will be having my first baby and i'm on my 24 weeks and 4 days right now and have my cervix 2.5cm. I didn't have cerclage put on me but I got progesterone and isuxsoprine medications to prevent pre term labor and absolytely bed rest.
We’re you able to deliver full term?
Thanks for sharing your story it’s not easy to go through something like this but we all will make it through
i also have incompetent cervix...it was diagnosed feb 2012 when i noticed my sons sac of water was bulging in the birth canal.. i was 21 weeks. When did you get your stitches? my first time back in 2013 i got it done at 20 weeks. i am now currently pregnant with my 4th baby and i got it this time at 15 weeks.. i get it removed in 6 day.. kinda cant wait.. im ready to have my little girl. after 3 boys i cant believe i finally got my girl.
I've had 3 cerclage, with my 3 pregnancies and I had the same thing happen to me the doctor was never able to remove my cerclage in the office I always end up in the operating room. With my first the spinal worked but with my other too they had to end up putting me sleep because it never worked and I always give birth the same day natural because the anesthesia does not work anymore..I'm now pregnant with my 4th let's see how it goes I'm very scared this time around because it will be a 4th cerclage and I hope my cervix can handle it.
sending you love and prayers for a strong cervix and cerclage! what a blessing I always thought I would have a large family but with IC I don't know how many I will have!
Hi Jeniley glez.., my first pregnancy was normal n I had a healthy girl in 2014, in 2017 I couldn’t recognize the symptoms of incompetent cervix n lost my baby boy at 23wks.... god had blessed me again n now Iam 11wks 5days pregnant. I hav been advised for cerclage n bed rest. As the doctors say every pregnancy is different did u hav the incompetency detected for each pregnancy or did u precautionary cerclage. Ur info could help me. Thanks in advance.
Hey everyone i have had 5 babies 2 prematurely my daughter was 25 weeks and she survived and shes 19 years old and my son sadly passed away 24 weeks old he would off been 18 years old this year.. i was 19 years old and experienced this .. i left it 2 years and got marriaged and then had got pregnant and i was unsure what to do ?? They said because off what happened i can have a cervical stitch and ill carry my baby better i did this ! And my son was born 38 weeks he is 15 years now and i had a boy back in 2022 with the same thing cervical stitch and full term 40 weeks and expecting again with a boy 😂 stitch is getting taken out in 3 weeks time to have my son in November !! Thats my last now .. good luck to new mummys experiencing this cervical stitch x
I'm pretty scared right now only 9 weeks and my midwife scared and said my cervix looked small .
I can understand bedrest will make you depress so start physical activities as dr allow you then you will come out from axienty try to relax and busy youself as you can.
Hi, during your moderate bed rest, did u sit up? Did u lay down the whole time with feet up? Please share your expertise.😃
I did sit up and I did move around the house. I just did not carry things, go on long walking, trips, and made sure to rest. I did sit at my desk for like an hour a day to work and then i would lay and relax either in my bed or my recliner. I did not go down too many stairs so my husband would do my laundry but then i folded it and put it away. from weeks 21-26 I was so nervous I barely moved but when I got to 32 weeks I started to do a bit more around the house and my body responded well to that so i would do things like the dishes or cook. Once i hit 34 weeks i got even more adventurous and organized parts of the nursery and things. But after my cerclage was placed I did not want to move i was so scared
+Joelle Suess I to had a emergency cerclage placed at 16 weeks and 5 days with 1.5 cm and dilation. I was nervous that I didn't do anything. However, for me, I have 2 small kids that I have to tend to which makes it harder to rest.😔 I'm now 19 weeks and staying positive and trusting in God. Your message was so informative because I thought I wasn't suppose to move at all. Your story is so encouraging and I appreciate you for being so transparent about your situation. It isn't easy, but I believe I'll have the same testimony as you. Thank u so much!☺
Tyisha Willis hey have u finished full term when u put cerclag at 16 weeks?
Im 20 weeks and I have mine done 2 days ago. It was torture, I was feeling everything and they have to put me to sleep. Im been actually traumatized about this.
This is my 4 pregnancy my 4 the cerclage and my last 3 was successful however each and every experience was different the first and second time taken it out was hell! My 3 rd time different doctor was amazing ! And amazing birth ! Thank god my babies made it I pray my last baby makes it also through this
Wow. Glad you had a better doctor for the 3rd one. I have one I and will have it taken out next month probably. Debating whether or not to get aesthetics or not. Any recommendations after your experiences? Thanks
hi were you able to go back to work afterwards. I'm 20 weeks i had mind done when i was 15 weeks. some people said after they removed the cerclage I'll have to go in bed rest until is time to give birth. thanks for making this video.
I went back to work after 2 weeks It was my decision to take 2 weeks rest giving it time to heal a bit
So ladies just relax dont put presure on you utress do your work liston to you body after cercalge do bedrest 1 month then slowly strat working one by one and every month talk to your dr about your physicall activites.if dr allow you then do it dont worry be happy.
Does short cervix mean that it's shorting early or does that mean you always have a short cervix I wish someone explained this to me but I was told I had a short cervix when I was pregnant with my daughter but it didn't seem like it was a big deal to them I had my regular check ups every 2 weeks then my grandma passed away in September of 2021 so I ended up going into premature labor at 32 weeks and they stopped it after 3 days then I got out and went to a different hospital because I was in pain the did an ffn test and it was positive It mean you can give birth in two weeks so I told my ob and she didn't seem to care saying that those test are wrong and sure enough I had her at 35 weeks in a hospital with no doctor or my ob wasn't there just two nurses and a nicu person and she was born healthy with no problems but I feel like they let me down about not caring for me or my daughter
Hlo joelle. I also have d same thing u have. I want to know what doctors do for delivery. When they remove stiches n normal or csearian, which delivery they prefer. Plj ans as soon as possible
My cerclage removal too k 3.5 hours due to me going into labor while taking it out had baby 3.5 hours after
Hi I'm also 28 weeks pregnant with my third. This is my third time getting the cerclage done, my first child was torture she put so much pain on my body. My second child wasn't as bad I didn't have many complications with her. Now with this pregnancy I've been sick, I've been diagnose with gestational diabetes, and now I'm having so much pain I can barely walk. Did you have vaginal pain with your cerclage ?
I did a little bit! It felt more like pressure and uncomfortable! You give me so much hope Lucha I am so scared to have another baby but I know I want more kids. Were you on bed rest with all of your pregnancies?
@@joactive I feel the same way! After we have our baby girl full term in the name of Jesus, I am scared to do this again.
You had a spinal during the removal of a mcdonald cerlcage? That is kind of odd. I didn't get that luxury. I have an incompetent cervix and I had my cerclage removed in the doctor's office. No pain medicine or anything. And it hurt like hell. /:
yes she tried to remove it without a spinal but she didn't want to torture me so she decided to do it with a spinal
Hii..Pregnancy is safe after cervical stitch????
Please reply
my girld friend found out she had an incompetent cervix in time, she is going to get operated and i hope she is all fine..i get worried.
We’re you able to deliver full term?
@@damarismoreno6603 thank god everuthing came out well
I'm 21 week ... cervical cerclage stitch was done in 20 weeks ...I don't know how long I can go ....🥺🥺
After cervix stitched, Can normal delivery is possible?
Yes! I delivered naturally twice after having a cerclage in pregnancy. The contractions though for me were unbareable compared to my first 2 births. The gyno said it can be scar tissue from the cerclage that causes more pain when contracting
When it remove is it pain or not
Hindi me btao...kitna pain hota h...
How was your bleeding?
I am currently 21 weeks pregnant and just found out my cervix is 1 cm dilated they prescribed progesterone to insert vaginally. They couldn't put the circlage because I've been bleeding on and off. IM hoping the progesterone helps and I get to stay pregnant til the time comes to give birth
How is ur pregnancy???
Mine is embedded into my cervix. They couldn’t take it out
Rule 1 if you do lot of physical activity and travel then may be it will hurt you in removing process.otherwise it will be just like soneone just cut one hair of you so what is the logic of pain.its a thread just cut tadaaaaaa😅😊
You can see your hospital band in the video with all your information. I just thought you should know.
i saw that and its just my name and birthday which its alright people could find that out on google
I just found out my cervix is 1 1/2 is low but they are not able to do cerclage because i have to be atleast 2 cm open i am soo scared to lose my baby al 20 weeks 4 days

Kaden Frazier have you had your cerclage removal yet?
I didn't have my Natural birth because they didn't take my stitch out all the way which they thought they did. I was told I severe Scar tissue. 11 months after my sons birth I went to my doctors uncomfortable there and they found the rest of cerclage.
really that is crazy!
I'm sorry
Did anyone feel discomfort with the cerclage? And at what week did it start?
I feel discomfort and tightening at the area of the cerclage when I sit for a long time (I work).
I did feel some. As the baby gets bigger and my son always was low I felt more pressure on my cervix which is why I got it removed at 35 weeks when most wait until 37 or longer. Mine was so uncomfortable. I didn't sit much but in the car sometimes I did feel that tightening or discomfort but that is normal because when we sit the blood flow in that area is greater.
