Cervical cerclage?

in 1st Trimester
Just curious if any of you have had one in the past, or have to have one for this pregnancy?  I had precancerous cells on my cervix removed via cervical cone in 2007, thus leaving me with an incompetent cervix.  When I went for my first OB visit my doctor informed me that he wanted to do one when I am 14 weeks so I won't dilate and go into labor prematurely.  Has anyone had one? I'm pretty nervous about it, probably because I don't really know what to expect.  TIA!

    My friend had one, and she is 40 weeks today, she went into preterm labor in her 3rd tri and lost the baby,  And now has had a very healthy pregnancy.

    You could re-post this on the preemies board.  I know there are ladies there who have had a cerclage. GL!

    You might get more responses on the high risk board. I have not had one but my doctor already mentioned it for this one bc I went into ptl last time. GL!

    I had one for DS at 14 weeks that was removed at 38 weeks. I went straight to 3.5cm and to 5cm at 40 weeks when I went into labor. I'm so glad I got one because certainly my cervix was ready to open as soon as it came out. The process to place the cerclage was pretty easy- it was a very short surgery and I was just crampy and off my feet that day and the next. After that I was fine. I ran almost everyday throughout my pregnancy up until I gave birth and never had any cervical shortening or problems. I would not have done well on bed rest. I'm planning on getting another one for this pregnancy (I'm 4 weeks 5 days)--better safe than sorry.
