Cerclage comes out today! UPDATED

I'm heading in, ladies! Wish me luck! FX it goes smoothly and doesn't hurt! Eek!
It was not too bad at all! Worst part was the speculum, ouch! I seem to remember that thing hurts in late pregnancy anyway. I never even felt the cerclage come out. I guess I did bleed a little; she swabbed it and waited for it to stop before removing the speculum. She showed me the stitch but wouldn't let me keep it, haha! I had to ask. It was yellow and about 1/8" thick and had about 8 knots at the end of it. It's crazy that tiny little thing saved my pregnancy.
Now I'm 1 cm dilated, about where I was when the cerclage was placed. So ladies, they do work!! I'm not even spotting and I feel fine.
So no more bed rest, no more pelvic rest, no more pills or p17 shots!!
