  • Congratulations :) I ditch my stitch in 2 and a half weeks very nervous and excited at same time. What was your experience like if you dont mind me asking ?
  • My cervix was 1.8 cm when it was placed at 13 weeks. Lengthened to 2.5 cm after it was placed :)

  • beccaannn94 - it was not pleasant!  It def hurt, even when she just put the speculum in since I've been on pelvic rest for 6 months!  It was uncomfortable while she was removing the stitch and bolts and it stung a little on the way home, but after that it was fine.  I was pretty swollen down there after, but I'm ok now!  I did take Tylenol about an hour before it was taken out to help with the pain.  There was a little bleeding, but that is pretty much it.  Took all of a few mins for it to be out :)

  • @biancakoz Thats what im scared of is how it will feel and how much it will hurt coming out i myself have been on bedrest and pelvic rest for about 4 months so far. My cervix is 1.3cm now so im thinking ill go into labor somewhat quickly when it is removed.
  • Yes, I'm a little worried too. Pretty sure I lost my mucus plug this evening and was having back aches and menstrual like cramps all day, although now I'm feeling better. At least by 37 weeks the baby is fine and should have no problems. Good luck!

  • Thanks for posting this. I still have 8 weeks to go before mine is removed but it's reassuring to know it went smoothly.
