Hi!
It sounds like you need a specialist, a perinatologist/highrisk OB doctor.
That doctor could do a good tight cerclage suture (stitch) around your cervix to help you hold the pregnancy.  If you were my patient, I would probably put you on bed rest and do ultrasounds of your cervix once or twice a week starting at 16 weeks.  If it looked like there was going to be any problem with the stitch, I would put you in the hospital for most of the pregnancy.
I hope this helps!
I'm sorry that you lost your first two!
Good luck!
Dr B

Hi!
I've been going through your answers and I really wish you were my gynae!  You are good.  I am 25 years and have had 2 previous miscarriages.

My gynae suggests that I have a cervical cerclage this time around with preg # 3.  I am currently 13 weeks and would just like to know how long the procedure takes as my gyane is not one who talks that much or responds to questions.
