Cerclage on Monday and We're still having a boy...

Well - I can't complain - my OB appt went ok. The doc looked and feels like we're having a boy. He said he's 70 % sure , the tech the other day said she was 96% sure - but she also used a whole lot more pictures to make her decision. Either way - we can live with it - it isn't guaranteed till we hold the kid anyway haha. 

My cerclage is scheduled for monday. He's doing a Shirodkar stitch  ( anyone else had one done?).It seems straight forward enough . Poor doc I asked thrice for them to confirm - this is the one that comes out right? They like to do c-sections here - so I wanted to make sure he wasn't committing me to one .....

  • I'm supposed to find out in another week or so if I need one as well. Good luck! Give us an update after!
                                                                                      
  • Good luck with the cerclage!

  • I definitely will update. I have been Dr. Googling and it seems it is a lot harder to remove one ( vs a macdonald stitch) in the doctor's office - and they often do it in an operating theater ( Eeeek )

  • Good luck! I will be also waiting to hear after my NT scan if I need one based on what is going on with my cervix. I hope everything goes well!

    That's comforting! Because I really don't want to have  CS if I don't have to. Doctors here push them like crazy for no reason....

  • Good luck with the cerclage!  One of my OBs mentioned possibly doing one for me, but at my last appt a diff OB in the office said maybe not.  I'm seeing the high risk OB on Thursday, we'll see what they say.  I'll be following your progress!

  • I say trust the specialist - I have no faith in OBs.... which is why I'm kind of freaking out that mine is being put in by an OB :( but High risk pregnancy specialists don't exist out here :(
