Hello Elizabeth. I’m from Baku, Azerbaijan. Maybe you’ve heard about this country 😊 I’ve lost my baby boy at 23th week on 4th January this year because of imcompetent cervix. And we didn’t know that it was problem of cervix. Everything was going so well, baby was healthy. And in one second everything changed. I understand you emotions and feelings so well. It’s very hard. Now i’m pregnant again, this is my 3rd pregnancy, I pray for Allah to keep this pregnancy as longer as I can. Doctor says that stitch will keep the baby, i hope so. Now it’s 11 week. Hope every woman can hold their pregnancy until 37-38 week. Pray for all of them🙏🏻
@@nigarbayramova8882 Big congratulations ❤️🩹thanks sister, My wife was 21 weeks pregnant & oneday without no reason miscarriage happened & now she is 8 weeks pregnant again, Doctor advice us to stitch the servix but we are confused about side effects of it & once stitch is done, is it possible normal delivery??
This was the hardest,scariest time of my life. 😢 Thank you God for my miracle baby got my cerclage at 20 weeks, had my son at 39 weeks 6 days. Stay prayerful and hopefull ladies you will get through this. ❤
omg please share more congratulations!!!! so happy you made it thats far praying i make it that far an praying that all the mothers having this surgery or who have had it including me are able to have successful pregnancies healthy babies an uncomplicated pregnancies Ase!!
I am currently going through this im 19 weeks with twins and had to get a emergency cerclage last night ...im so happy to c everything worked out ..its giving me hope
Salina S2 dear m now in same situation. Pls tell me what's ur cervical lenght at that time. M having twins with 21 mm cervical length. Pls for God shake reply dear
Same situation. I found out last week my cervix is 2.0 at 24 weeks and 3 days. My doctor stated not a candidate for cerclage due to being over 24 weeks. I am on bed rest. I am on vaginal progesterone two a day. Taking more vitamins and resting. It is scary and you can’t help but worry. I pray that my little one makes it to 36 weeks.
Same case for me in 25 weeks. I am on full bed rest. The doctor put a pessary. Are you taking injection for DVT? Or what are you doing to avoid the DVT. What is the update till now. Hope all is good with you and the baby.
I will be 29 weeks this Saturday. I went through a very similar situation at 21 weeks and 6 days. I think the only difference is I'm not pregnant with twins! Your video is very inspiring. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on making it this far!
How are you doing now and what is your cervical length at 21 week... And give some information regarding the bed routine you took?! You went for shower and rest room daily ?! Please reply...
I am 23 weeks and 3 days with twins, I had a cerclage done at 22weeks 6 days. I was 3 cm dilated and my membranes were bulging into my cervix. Needless to say I was pretty terrified I would lose my babies due to it not working or them poking the amniotic sac. But all went well and I'm thankful to say that 4 days later, I'm feeling pretty good and it's holding up so far! I take it day by day and am on bed rest. Thank you for sharing your story
@@giftysusanjohn9555 still going strong. 29 weeks and the stitch has held up great. just going to the Dr. 2x a week to check babies size because one baby isn't. growing as fast as the other. but just want to make it to at least 36 weeks when I can ditch the stitch!
I'm so glad your babies are doing well. I recently just loss my baby boy on October 10,2021 due to this issue. He was born at 20wks 2 days. I have been so emotional as his due date gets closer and knowing that I will not experience the happiness and joy of holding a healthy baby boy. He was so adorable looked just like his big sister. He was only 13.27 ounces. So tiny.🥺 😭😭
My baby boy was born due to an incompetent cervix as well. He was due in May and I am just trying to be strong. He was 18 weeks gestation and looked like his dad 😢😢😢😢

I went through this 3days ago and I’m also pregnant with twins and I’m on bed rest now. I just idk how I’m gonna go through this but all I. Know GOD is the most highest I’ll continue praying for my babies and I believe GOD will do me wonders.
@@Annsmilesogenuine OMG. I am super scared. So sorry for your loss. My wife just did a cerclage, we have lost two already. God comfort you and I hope we share good news soon.
I hope god give strength to all the women having incompetent cervix. My wife had the emergency cerclage last week. The cervix was at 3.0 cm until 22 week. OB suggested to have oral progesterone and suppository for vaginal infection. We thought the length will remain the same. But at the 25th week the cervix length came out to be 1.1 cm with a little funnelling. Doc suggested surgery for cerclage even though we were a week late. It went good though a little spotting is there which is sporadic and it will go eventually within two weeks. We just praying to get through this and have a normal delivery. If anyone is wondering whether to go or not for cerclage. I would say they should definitely go for it.
I lost my fist baby at 19 weeks. I went in for a OB visit because lots of discharge only to find out I was 3 cm dilated. In order to find out if I can do the stitch, I had to do amniocentesis to check for infection. Unfortunately they found infection and my body was getting ready for labour. Now 7 months later, I am pregnant again at 14 weeks only to just find out my cervix length is 2.5 cm and I will need to do the stitch. I just hope and pray that I won't lose this baby too. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much , i just had the surgery few days ago at 13 weeks. And its such a relief to hear that someone has been through this before and they managed to get through safely .. thanks a lot !
Thank you so much for sharing your experience ❤️. Currently I'm going through similar situation , pregnant with twin babies. Your video has given me lots of hope and inspiration ❤️
Hi.. it's so heartening to see this video. I guess I'm seeing this after a year. I lost my baby in the 16th week because my uterus opened.howi wish I had realised earlier and visited a doctor much earlier. But I didn't feel any symptom. By the time the dreading night arrived.. my uterus was fully opened. And my doc had no option but to make me abort :( i hope I get lucky next time 🤞
Thanks Elizabeth for your inspiring video. Im currently 26w with twins and going through this wild journey myself. I had a little sneak peek and am so happy that you made it to 36w with twins. I hope that, that is our luck as well. Thank you for putting this video up, it takes a lot of courage and it has given me hope. You are an inspiration. All the best with the twineroos!
+snailmailsniji so glad to help! I'm so sorry you are going through this as well but glad to hear you are already at 26 weeks! I remember my doctor setting that as our major goal and everything beyond that was a "bonus". After she delivered our girls she told me that she was so genuinely happy/excited for us that we made at and could now say that in honesty her and my mfm team had serious concerns and doubts that I would make it to viability! So it can be done. My girls are now happy and healthy 3 (almost 4!) months old. I've filmed some updates and hope to be back on TH-cam soon. The twins have kept my hands super full (just you wait 😉) but I'm a super happy mama. Feel free to continue to reach out for support or if you have any questions!
Thanks for your sweet and encouraging reply Elizabeth! I'm holding on tight and I hope these babes continue to cook. You are one lucky Mama (and a brave and courageous woman)!
My wife just lost our twins two boys die at 14 weeks doc said it was too early for her to get stitch and there is nothing they could do to help us her cervix was open she was bleeding with back pain I was there and saw everything was the worst feeling ever I saw their hearts beat about 2 times then stopped felt like mine stop too couldn't help the tears and also seeing her in such state. Everyday I live remembering this. We got to look at them and hold them it was heart breaking. Now I have doubts if the same thing will reoccur
I've done two back to back surgeries. First one was emergency. I was cramping and cervix was opening and dilating. Then, i had another surgery the following year elective. Both cerclages were successful.
Thank you so much for sharing Liz! Same here very easy first tri-mester, but then this incompetent cervix changed everything...week 20 with only 1cm long cervix and half is open...I am on bed rest now, thought the doctor seems so think I can live a normal live. But I feel much better in bed, at night when the pain exaggerate I live my legs up night to help fight again gravity,,,this helps me to sleep...wishing all the best!
My heart goes out 2u Im nearly 22weeks and had a emergency Cerclage last week Hope it all goes well for u keep strong uve come along way up2 29 weeks 😘
I’m going thru this right now with my baby boy. I’m currently 20 weeks and my cervix is only 1.6 cm. My doctor put me on progesterone suppositories and no bedrest. I’m so terrified of losing him. I honestly would rather do the cerclage bc I’m so scared
Tristyn Higgins were you able to get your baby to term? I was just diagnosed with an incompetent cervix at 21 weeks. I am terrified. Did you end up getting the cerclage?
Thank you for sharing!! Im glad all worked out for you & your family. I totally understand. I’m currently measuring 1.4 with a need for a cerclage after losing my first child at 18 weeks…My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow & Im terrified.
Hi Ma'am, My wife has gone through cerclage at 14 weeks and now she is at 15week. Your experience after the cerclage, did you experience any bleeding pinkish to brownish? Your kind words would help us to give hope.
Hi Elizabeth, I have just had the emergency cervix cerlage at week 21 pregnancy 4 days ago, it was 1cm . I am so nervous since then and stay on bed most of the time. Hope my baby can stay in my womb until week 37 at least 😭.
Juana Razo Juana Razo hi Juana, I made it to 29 weeks this week , I joined the group Incompetence cervix group in fb, u join and read some share info, i sometimes ask questions there , 27 weeks is pretty good so cheer up! You can do it mama.
My Grand daughter just lost her baby boy on Sunday because of this problem.she was 22 weeks along.We are all devistared of course.She knew she had this problem but the Doctors didnt do anything for her
God bless you Elizabeth. Both me and my wife is going through the same at 15weeks. She got Cerclage at 14weeks as we lost our first child. This really helps us to gather hope and courage. After getting Cerclage her USG shows her internal os is open and placenta is little low. Could you please guide us? I would be grateful for your advice. 🙏
Hi Elizabeth... You are such a strong woman.. Im currently in 16th week... I underwent a scan during 13th week.. And found my baby's head position was down and my cervix was dilated to 5mm..my doc asked me take progestrone supplement for 20 days and asked me to come for another scan in which they will do measurements... What precaution and tips i need to follow... Pl help me....
Thank You For Telling Your Story!!! I’m So Scared For My Baby Girl. I’ll Be 20weeks Tomorrow & Getting My Cerclage Done That Morning. Cervix Is Measuring 1.4cm But Was Fine Two Weeks Prior Measuring 3.2cm
@@Main_Hoon_Romeo2024 Nah, Not Sure If It’s Anything I Did. But I’ve Had A Prior Preterm Delivery & Never Knew What The Cause Was. Delivered My 1st Baby 13yrs Ago At 27wks+5days. So When My DR. Found That Out He Diagnosed Me As High Risk When I Was 10weeks & Had Me Getting Sonograms Every 2 Weeks Starting At 14weeks. Great Call To! My Cerclage Is Still In Place But My Cervix Is Still Shortening & I’m 32wks+3days. After It’s Removed At 36-37weeks I May Still Have Her Early
Hy @elizabeth can you please share how did you manage going to toilet for both type of passings. Im 31 weeks on strict bed rest right now as my cervix is funneling.
I am 27 weeks. I go to my high risk Dr on Friday to check cervix and I'm so worried I feel like mine is gonna be short BUT I've thought that every visit & only good news this far. I'm so worried abt having another preterm baby.
I know its so hard! I'm sending you good vibes and all the luck. If it helps.. I remember my doctor telling me that after 28 weeks the pelvic bones take on a lot of the weight of the baby and the pressure is less so on your cervix. 28 weeks was a huge milestone for us for that reason. You're almost there!
@@tappingwithliz my wife started 27th week twin pregnancy today 22/1/22. Everything is going good till now at 19th week anamoly scan found nornal with 4.0 cm cervix. We were having regular check up every month. At 26th week we found cervix is getting softer by every week. Doctor adviced cervical cerclage cant be possible to have with soft cervix. She advice to be on medication with vaginal progesterone and progesterone injection for twice a week with complete bed rest in decline bed with head down possition. I dont know what could happen in upcoming days.
Salina S2 I’m so glad it’s helping. You’ve got this mama. My doctors really didn’t think I would make it but we did! When I was on bed rest and going through this I knew another few moms also on bed rest with twins all of who made it! One didn’t even have a cerclage just a pessary and she made it to 38 weeks! I’ll be thinking of you. If you ever need to chat don’t hesitate to reach out.
Hope Your babies get til 36 weeks... I had a baby in 27 weeks so Thanks God she did it great but is Not easy be in NICU for Long time.... Im 17 weeks now and my cervix is 1.2 so Im getting cerclage in 1 more day and Im very scare about it .. can't be on bed rest because my little 2 yo but Ill do the best i can for this little one too. Hope you feel better, Ill like to know if after cerclage is painful Or something I can do and it Will help?? Thanks and God bless you and Your 2 babies aswel
My prayers are with you as for me I am sorry to say I currently going true the same an its not an easy life I pray every day an night exactly going true the same but I am having a baby boy now I am in 26weeks an undergoing bed rest in the hospital but I want to go home my doctor say I have to stay until I reach 34 weeks an its hard so I need to know if you home doing the bed rest an how u do it thank you stay safe.
hi I am 13 weeks and have incompetent cervix also.. I wanted to ask if you worked during the time you were pregnant and would it be safe.. I'm a teacher and we go back to school in 2 months...
+islam zghoul so sorry I took so long to respond. I was away from TH-cam for a while. I did not work after my cerclage was placed. I took a leave of absence from work and was at home on bedrest
dear Elizabeth... now I feel like you as the Elizabeth our mother Mary visited.... I hope you will see my comment... Lost first child without knowing short cervix.. for this pregnancy they put McDonald's cerclage at 13 th week. Even after that the length was started reduced by funneling... At 18th week lenth was 1.2 cm... In a same kind of your situation right now at 21 week... I took daily shower and go for restroom 10 times a day. And taking progesterone shots 2 weeks once... I want to know your day routine... What safety measures you took after cerclage.. did you in complete bed test or walk for bath and restroom... Kindly reply to save the little one 😭... Please... Anyone came across the same situation please reply 😭
I’m so sorry to hear you are going through this and for the late reply. How is everything going? I stayed in bed and lay down on my side pretty much all day long. Only getting up to shower or use the washroom. It was difficult and uncomfortable but worth it. Wishing you nothing but the best
I just got my emergency cerclage at 30 weeks because my cervix is also at 0.5cm with twins. Currently on extended bed rest and your story gives me a lot of hope. Thank you so much for sharing your story 🙏
@@sidnazzemotionalattachment1471 I followed what my doctor told me, which is extended bed rest. I didn't leave home at all during the 3 weeks. He also gave me lots of vitamins.
So did anyone feel pressure and discovered they have weaken cervix or only ultrasound can determine? I need to know the signs and symptoms please anyone
I’m not a doctor so my advice needs to be taken with a grain of salt.. but I remember having some discharge after my cerclage. As long as it’s not bloody it should be okay but best to bring it up with your medical team to make sure it’s not infection
After cervical stitch at19weeks I'm getting dark brown discharge is it dangerous To my baby I had work normal after cervical stitch up to 10days after that I got that brown discharge
Thank you for your video. I’m only 5 days post emergency cerclage with short cervix and 3 cm dilated and bulging bag. She was only able to get 0.5cm of cervix length and now I’m home on bedrest antibiotics and progesterone. Did you stay on complete bed rest after initial 2 weeks? How far along were you when they gave you steroid injection? Thank you
I lost mine before the cerclage. Maybe a day before. I think it’s worth going into the doctor though. Did they give you an emergency number you could call after your cerclage. I lasted my pregnancy without my mucus plug but I strongly suggest you flag this with your OB asap just to be safe
Im watching ur video and literally crying because im going through this but no cerclege. I lost my twins last year and got pregnant with twins again both ivf. Found out i was funneling and 0.9 cm cervix at 20 weeks and got a pessary placed yesterday. I had it done yesterday and im on hospital bed rest for a couple days. How was ur bed rest were u allowed to use the bathroom?
+Layal Ghacham I’m so very sorry to hear of your loss and that you are in this position right now. When I was going through my issues I was talking to a woman through a pregnancy app who was in the exact same position as me (and as you are now). She was given a pessary and it held until 38 weeks I believe when she had her scheduled c-section! Stay hopefully mama. I know that’s easier said than done. I was allowed to use the bathroom but that’s pretty much all I ever got up for. I was at home and basically only had 2 min showers twice a week. It wasn’t pretty but it was worth it. Please feel free to continue reaching out to me for whatever support you might need.
I’m so happy I found you. I am 20 weeks pregnant with twins with a 3.0cm cervix. I’ve been worried about not being able to hold them, but your story gives me hope. Thank you for sharing your story and god bless your family. ♥️
Going through the same thing. 21 weeks & 5 days currently. Got the cerclage yesterday. And It went well. Expecting identical twins baby girls! And I cannot fathom the thought of losing them. Prayers needed for us mommas going through this!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Elizabeth Garkowski I got a cerclage on 5 days ago and put on progesterone shot once a week, im not sure what to expect so im really looking forward to your updates. My cervix was stretched to a 1.7 after the cerclage but before it was a .2 :(. I lost one baby due to incompetent cervix. Praying these babies stay put for a while.
Fatimah Ali I'm so sorry for your loss and that you are going through this now. Did the doctors put you in bed rest? I know this is an extremely difficult situation, try to take it one day at a time and focus on little milestones. The doctors didn't think I would make it to 24 weeks but here I am at 31 weeks and I'm still stable. Best of luck, I will be thinking of you and your babies! Keep me posted ❤
Elizabeth Garkowski They put me on modified bedrest but I've been pretty strict. I'm so scared to cough, sneeze or throw up. Yesterday I threw up and got a little brown discharge not sure if I should call the doctor. Thank you so much for your encouraging words. Praying you and the babies make it to full term. 💕💕💕
I know the feeling! Every twinge, even every time I had to move made me nervous.. but you've got this!! I'm not sure if you have heard of this group already, but there is a Facebook group called Incompetent Cervix Awareness.. it is full of very supportive women who have all gone through, or are currently going through what we are. I've found it to be extremely helpful. Thought I would mention it in case you are interested :)
I had my delivery last year at 24 weeks after i was leaking amniotic fluid, where my baby passed away after 3 days. Am 12 weeks in my second pregnancy.. U have some advice? Private treatment is too costly nd I don't know what do. Trying to be positive though its much much difficult..
So sorry to hear about your loss last year. But for now, I recommend straight bed rest if you can afford to do it. Request a cerclage, right now I am 28.6 weeks pregnant and I have a Shirodkar cerclage that is placed a little farther up than the regular McDonald cerclage. Although my cervix has opened the cerclage is holding very well with bed rest. My due date is in May and I will be on bed rest until then. Well until 37 weeks which will put me at in the beginning of May. So he go in there. Praying all goes well. God is all in this and he’ll never fail you.

It went good though a little spotting is there which is sporadic and it will go eventually within two weeks. We just praying to get through this and have a normal delivery. If anyone is wondering whether to go or not for cerclage. I would say they should definitely go for it.
I lost my fist baby at 19 weeks. I went in for a OB visit because lots of discharge only to find out I was 3 cm dilated. In order to find out if I can do the stitch, I had to do amniocentesis to check for infection. Unfortunately they found infection and my body was getting ready for labour.
Now 7 months later, I am pregnant again at 14 weeks only to just find out my cervix length is 2.5 cm and I will need to do the stitch. I just hope and pray that I won't lose this baby too.
Thank you for sharing!
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss and that you’re having to get a stitch again. Sending lots of strength and sticky baby dust!
Thank you for sharing. This was a wonderful video. I will be praying for yall.
The Simple Momma thank you so much, that is very kind of you. You have some great videos on your channel as well :)
Thank you so much , i just had the surgery few days ago at 13 weeks.
And its such a relief to hear that someone has been through this before and they managed to get through safely .. thanks a lot !
I'm glad someone got this early in their pregnancy, i will getting mine next week at almost 13 weeks too!!
This was so genuine and heart felt. Also, very informative. You’re so strong! Thank you so much for making this ❤️
I am going through the same thing praying to God is what keeps me going through, I am 20 weeks I’ll be 21weeks in a couple days and I am having twins
Hi good afternoon
Did you reach terms ?
Thank you so much for sharing your experience ❤️. Currently I'm going through similar situation , pregnant with twin babies. Your video has given me lots of hope and inspiration ❤️
Hi.. it's so heartening to see this video. I guess I'm seeing this after a year. I lost my baby in the 16th week because my uterus opened.howi wish I had realised earlier and visited a doctor much earlier. But I didn't feel any symptom. By the time the dreading night arrived.. my uterus was fully opened. And my doc had no option but to make me abort :( i hope I get lucky next time 🤞
No one can understand the pain of losing a child until gone through. God bless u nd I wish u a healthy pregnancy next time!!
Be positive always!
Thank you for sharing your experience, I’ll pray for your well being,
Thanks Elizabeth for your inspiring video. Im currently 26w with twins and going through this wild journey myself. I had a little sneak peek and am so happy that you made it to 36w with twins. I hope that, that is our luck as well. Thank you for putting this video up, it takes a lot of courage and it has given me hope. You are an inspiration. All the best with the twineroos!
+snailmailsniji so glad to help! I'm so sorry you are going through this as well but glad to hear you are already at 26 weeks! I remember my doctor setting that as our major goal and everything beyond that was a "bonus". After she delivered our girls she told me that she was so genuinely happy/excited for us that we made at and could now say that in honesty her and my mfm team had serious concerns and doubts that I would make it to viability! So it can be done. My girls are now happy and healthy 3 (almost 4!) months old. I've filmed some updates and hope to be back on TH-cam soon. The twins have kept my hands super full (just you wait 😉) but I'm a super happy mama. Feel free to continue to reach out for support or if you have any questions!
Thanks for your sweet and encouraging reply Elizabeth! I'm holding on tight and I hope these babes continue to cook. You are one lucky Mama (and a brave and courageous woman)!
This is so touching... God bless you!!!
My wife just lost our twins two boys die at 14 weeks doc said it was too early for her to get stitch and there is nothing they could do to help us her cervix was open she was bleeding with back pain I was there and saw everything was the worst feeling ever I saw their hearts beat about 2 times then stopped felt like mine stop too couldn't help the tears and also seeing her in such state. Everyday I live remembering this. We got to look at them and hold them it was heart breaking. Now I have doubts if the same thing will reoccur
I went through the same thing 😪my was a 19 weeks
Was twin as well also boys
So sorryp!
I've done two back to back surgeries. First one was emergency. I was cramping and cervix was opening and dilating. Then, i had another surgery the following year elective. Both cerclages were successful.
Oh my lord !! This is me !! I am hitting nearly 29 weeks when I was told and held in hospital at 23 weeks that my babies were coming 😓
How was it,how did you go about everything and how many cm was it?

Congrats! How the kids
Thanks for this video going through this right now this gives me some hope
I’m going thru this right now with my baby boy. I’m currently 20 weeks and my cervix is only 1.6 cm. My doctor put me on progesterone suppositories and no bedrest. I’m so terrified of losing him. I honestly would rather do the cerclage bc I’m so scared
Tristyn Higgins were you able to get your baby to term? I was just diagnosed with an incompetent cervix at 21 weeks. I am terrified. Did you end up getting the cerclage?
Ashley V. Did you carry full term i got mine at 20 weeks also
Mine was 1cm at week 20, got the cerclage installed and also pills of progesterone
1.6 and they only gave you progesterone and no bedrest?! Did they at least do pelvic rest?
@winniex1387 what happened? Hope all went well
Thank you for sharing!! Im glad all worked out for you & your family. I totally understand. I’m currently measuring 1.4 with a need for a cerclage after losing my first child at 18 weeks…My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow & Im terrified.
Im scheduale this week , how
Did everything go love ? 🤞🏻
Hi Ma'am, My wife has gone through cerclage at 14 weeks and now she is at 15week. Your experience after the cerclage, did you experience any bleeding pinkish to brownish? Your kind words would help us to give hope.
Hi Elizabeth, I have just had the emergency cervix cerlage at week 21 pregnancy 4 days ago, it was 1cm . I am so nervous since then and stay on bed most of the time. Hope my baby can stay in my womb until week 37 at least 😭.
Anna Ng me too how you feeling I’m also 1cm I’m 27 weeks now but it keeps shortening:(
Juana Razo Juana Razo hi Juana, I made it to 29 weeks this week , I joined the group Incompetence cervix group in fb, u join and read some share info, i sometimes ask questions there , 27 weeks is pretty good so cheer up! You can do it mama.
Anna Ng thank you it is I’m over here stressing cause now I have a 1cm cervix left but doctor said it can change anytime what’s your measuring now?
Thank you for this video.

God bless you Elizabeth. Both me and my wife is going through the same at 15weeks. She got Cerclage at 14weeks as we lost our first child. This really helps us to gather hope and courage. After getting Cerclage her USG shows her internal os is open and placenta is little low. Could you please guide us? I would be grateful for your advice. 🙏

Hi Elizabeth... You are such a strong woman.. Im currently in 16th week... I underwent a scan during 13th week.. And found my baby's head position was down and my cervix was dilated to 5mm..my doc asked me take progestrone supplement for 20 days and asked me to come for another scan in which they will do measurements... What precaution and tips i need to follow... Pl help me....
Did it stop dilating after progesterone?
I am currently 7mm dilated and it really scares me
@@Corrinxfvj676how was your process
Thank You For Telling Your Story!!!
I’m So Scared For My Baby Girl. I’ll Be 20weeks Tomorrow & Getting My Cerclage Done That Morning. Cervix Is Measuring 1.4cm But Was Fine Two Weeks Prior Measuring 3.2cm
Did u remember wht u did cervix got so short in 2 weeks like squatting or anything
@@Main_Hoon_Romeo2024 Nah, Not Sure If It’s Anything I Did. But I’ve Had A Prior Preterm Delivery & Never Knew What The Cause Was. Delivered My 1st Baby 13yrs Ago At 27wks+5days.
So When My DR. Found That Out He Diagnosed Me As High Risk When I Was 10weeks & Had Me Getting Sonograms Every 2 Weeks Starting At 14weeks. Great Call To! My Cerclage Is Still In Place But My Cervix Is Still Shortening & I’m 32wks+3days. After It’s Removed At 36-37weeks I May Still Have Her Early
Thank you for sharing 🌸
Hy @elizabeth can you please share how did you manage going to toilet for both type of passings. Im 31 weeks on strict bed rest right now as my cervix is funneling.
My wife also same situation the stitches holding my babies twins pls pray for us we r in bed rest hospital
I am 27 weeks. I go to my high risk Dr on Friday to check cervix and I'm so worried I feel like mine is gonna be short BUT I've thought that every visit & only good news this far. I'm so worried abt having another preterm baby.
I know its so hard! I'm sending you good vibes and all the luck. If it helps.. I remember my doctor telling me that after 28 weeks the pelvic bones take on a lot of the weight of the baby and the pressure is less so on your cervix. 28 weeks was a huge milestone for us for that reason. You're almost there!
@@tappingwithliz my wife started 27th week twin pregnancy today 22/1/22. Everything is going good till now at 19th week anamoly scan found nornal with 4.0 cm cervix. We were having regular check up every month. At 26th week we found cervix is getting softer by every week. Doctor adviced cervical cerclage cant be possible to have with soft cervix. She advice to be on medication with vaginal progesterone and progesterone injection for twice a week with complete bed rest in decline bed with head down possition. I dont know what could happen in upcoming days.
Your story is truly heloing me get through this
Salina S2 I’m so glad it’s helping. You’ve got this mama. My doctors really didn’t think I would make it but we did! When I was on bed rest and going through this I knew another few moms also on bed rest with twins all of who made it! One didn’t even have a cerclage just a pessary and she made it to 38 weeks! I’ll be thinking of you. If you ever need to chat don’t hesitate to reach out.

hi I am 13 weeks and have incompetent cervix also.. I wanted to ask if you worked during the time you were pregnant and would it be safe.. I'm a teacher and we go back to school in 2 months...
+islam zghoul so sorry I took so long to respond. I was away from TH-cam for a while. I did not work after my cerclage was placed. I took a leave of absence from work and was at home on bedrest
dear Elizabeth... now I feel like you as the Elizabeth our mother Mary visited.... I hope you will see my comment... Lost first child without knowing short cervix.. for this pregnancy they put McDonald's cerclage at 13 th week. Even after that the length was started reduced by funneling... At 18th week lenth was 1.2 cm... In a same kind of your situation right now at 21 week... I took daily shower and go for restroom 10 times a day. And taking progesterone shots 2 weeks once... I want to know your day routine... What safety measures you took after cerclage.. did you in complete bed test or walk for bath and restroom... Kindly reply to save the little one 😭... Please...
Anyone came across the same situation please reply 😭
I’m so sorry to hear you are going through this and for the late reply. How is everything going? I stayed in bed and lay down on my side pretty much all day long. Only getting up to shower or use the washroom. It was difficult and uncomfortable but worth it. Wishing you nothing but the best
I just got my emergency cerclage at 30 weeks because my cervix is also at 0.5cm with twins. Currently on extended bed rest and your story gives me a lot of hope.
Thank you so much for sharing your story 🙏

Hi, i had my cercelage on 20 weeks, now I'm getting liquid white discharge like milk. Is it normal?
I’m not a doctor so my advice needs to be taken with a grain of salt.. but I remember having some discharge after my cerclage. As long as it’s not bloody it should be okay but best to bring it up with your medical team to make sure it’s not infection
How is ur baby now
Dear can you tell me which week we can know that we have an incompetent cervix ?
It’s different for everybody
I’m facing the same issue but it’s a single baby/ could someone suggest the right position to stay on bed for months/
I lie in sides changing from right to left and vise versa about 1 hr each side
How are you and your baby now.... And please share your bed rest routine... Can I go for daily shower and rest room... Please share
After cervical stitch at19weeks I'm getting dark brown discharge is it dangerous To my baby I had work normal after cervical stitch up to 10days after that I got that brown discharge
How is ur baby
29 weeks ..Woop woop🎉
Thank you for your video. I’m only 5 days post emergency cerclage with short cervix and 3 cm dilated and bulging bag. She was only able to get 0.5cm of cervix length and now I’m home on bedrest antibiotics and progesterone. Did you stay on complete bed rest after initial 2 weeks? How far along were you when they gave you steroid injection? Thank you
Can progesterone increase cervical length?
Hi dear, any updates on your baby ?
Please, did you or anyone here experience that jelly like discharge (mucus plug) after getting the cerclarge?
I lost mine before the cerclage. Maybe a day before. I think it’s worth going into the doctor though. Did they give you an emergency number you could call after your cerclage. I lasted my pregnancy without my mucus plug but I strongly suggest you flag this with your OB asap just to be safe
How is ur baby now
Im watching ur video and literally crying because im going through this but no cerclege. I lost my twins last year and got pregnant with twins again both ivf. Found out i was funneling and 0.9 cm cervix at 20 weeks and got a pessary placed yesterday. I had it done yesterday and im on hospital bed rest for a couple days. How was ur bed rest were u allowed to use the bathroom?
+Layal Ghacham I’m so very sorry to hear of your loss and that you are in this position right now. When I was going through my issues I was talking to a woman through a pregnancy app who was in the exact same position as me (and as you are now). She was given a pessary and it held until 38 weeks I believe when she had her scheduled c-section! Stay hopefully mama. I know that’s easier said than done. I was allowed to use the bathroom but that’s pretty much all I ever got up for. I was at home and basically only had 2 min showers twice a week. It wasn’t pretty but it was worth it. Please feel free to continue reaching out to me for whatever support you might need.
Hi there, I was curious how it all went since your comment was made one year ago. Hope everything went well. :s
Update?
How are you now and the babies... And tell me about your bed rest... You went test room and shower ?!
I’m so happy I found you. I am 20 weeks pregnant with twins with a 3.0cm cervix. I’ve been worried about not being able to hold them, but your story gives me hope. Thank you for sharing your story and god bless your family. ♥️
Going through the same thing. 21 weeks & 5 days currently. Got the cerclage yesterday. And It went well. Expecting identical twins baby girls! And I cannot fathom the thought of losing them. Prayers needed for us mommas going through this!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
How is ur pregnency going on
It went well. I made it to 36 weeks. Baby girl and boy are a month old now and they are doing well. I should make a video 🤔
@@juxxandjass7689 are u taking any stitch ? Taking any bedrest dear pls telme dear pls
Yes, I had a cervical cerclage and the key is bedrest. Bedrest is hard but it works very well to keep them inside. Drink lots of water as well
Hi Elizabeth
Hi my cervical length is 2.8 at 14th week.. is it safe and normal or take any treatment please reply me I am so confused..
Have you been twins pregnancy?
How is ur pregnency going on ? What is ur cervix lenth right now
Im currently going through the same thing at 20 weeks pregnant with twins. Did they put you on progesterone shots?
Fatimah Ali Not the shot but I am on progesterone suppositories. Did you get a stitch put in??
Elizabeth Garkowski I got a cerclage on 5 days ago and put on progesterone shot once a week, im not sure what to expect so im really looking forward to your updates. My cervix was stretched to a 1.7 after the cerclage but before it was a .2 :(. I lost one baby due to incompetent cervix. Praying these babies stay put for a while.
Fatimah Ali I'm so sorry for your loss and that you are going through this now. Did the doctors put you in bed rest? I know this is an extremely difficult situation, try to take it one day at a time and focus on little milestones. The doctors didn't think I would make it to 24 weeks but here I am at 31 weeks and I'm still stable. Best of luck, I will be thinking of you and your babies! Keep me posted ❤
Elizabeth Garkowski They put me on modified bedrest but I've been pretty strict. I'm so scared to cough, sneeze or throw up. Yesterday I threw up and got a little brown discharge not sure if I should call the doctor. Thank you so much for your encouraging words. Praying you and the babies make it to full term. 💕💕💕
I know the feeling! Every twinge, even every time I had to move made me nervous.. but you've got this!! I'm not sure if you have heard of this group already, but there is a Facebook group called Incompetent Cervix Awareness.. it is full of very supportive women who have all gone through, or are currently going through what we are. I've found it to be extremely helpful. Thought I would mention it in case you are interested :)
I had my delivery last year at 24 weeks after i was leaking amniotic fluid, where my baby passed away after 3 days. Am 12 weeks in my second pregnancy.. U have some advice?
Private treatment is too costly nd I don't know what do. Trying to be positive though its much much difficult..
زبيدة زوجة عرباض please rest don’t work I was working when this happened
So sorry to hear about your loss last year. But for now, I recommend straight bed rest if you can afford to do it. Request a cerclage, right now I am 28.6 weeks pregnant and I have a Shirodkar cerclage that is placed a little farther up than the regular McDonald cerclage. Although my cervix has opened the cerclage is holding very well with bed rest. My due date is in May and I will be on bed rest until then. Well until 37 weeks which will put me at in the beginning of May. So he go in there. Praying all goes well. God is all in this and he’ll never fail you.
Bed rest is proven to be worse than normal activity
John the surfer really but even with a very short cervix :(
