Any other ladies diagnosed with incompetent cervix and needing a cervical cerclage done? Or have had one before? I'm slightly freaking out about needing one next week!
2 successful pregnancies, and number 3 was a 2nd trimester loss in june from cervix dialating without preterm labor. Ive never had trouble during a pregnancy before.

Edited bc my phone can't spell

My friend her baby didn't make it either but her next pregnancy was successful and took every precaution there was.

I had one with DS (he's 2) and am getting another in about a week. My doc does it at a surgery center with a spinal. It's quick and a great peace of mind.

Sorry to hear this! I have a friend who had this problem and has two healthy babies -- both were born premature and she was on bedrest, but there are things they can do to stop labour!

My cousin had to have a cerclage with her 2nd and 3rd pregnancies after a second tri loss with her first child. She now has 2 beautiful children that she carried full term thanks to the cerclage. Prayers for you and so thankful there is an option to help!

Thanks, everyone. I think I'm just freaking out because
1) I had med free births because I hate needles
2) I'll be awake and alone (I really wanted to be put under).

I actually cried when I woke up this morning bc I had an awful dream about it

I was awake too - it only takes a minute! Tell the doctor how nervous you are. They had a nurse up by my head the whole time. It took five times as long for the anesthesia to wear off then the actual procedure!

I'm keeping an eye on this post. I will have cerclage in a couple weeks. I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in June and had surgery in September. My doc says my cervix is thinner than he'd like and he's concerned

No experience, but I wanted to offer my support for all of you.  Good luck!

@Philter14 I've told my doc my concerns and he said the anesthesiologist decides. I guess I'm frustrated, too, because had I gone to the other hospital in area (same doc) to have it done, they put you under. I just hate that hospital.

They are telling me 45 minutes to do it...that's a long time to talk to someone I font even know. I dont even talk to my husband that much lol. Hubs is going to try to talk them Friday morning because he's been dealing with my panic attacks.
