Any info on Cerclage

[bhenneker]

I just went to my first Doctor appt. I'm about 4-5 wks pg and my doctor informed me that she would like to send me to a high risk doctor asap because she feels that I fall in the high risk category which I am okay with (I think it would put my mind a ease this pregnancy) she then went on about the high risk probably putting a cerclage in place. I know alittle about it but not that must. I was wondering cons and pros, when they do it etc.
she feels that I should get on because I delivered my daughter last sept. at 18wks and due to severe prematurity she didn't survive. Also she mentioned that he would probably put me on progesterone
what its is purpose?

First of all sorry for your loss. I had a loss @ 19weeks in October 2010 i went into preterm labor there was no way my baby was going to make it at only 19 weeks. Im now pregnant
20weeks!!!!!! I had a Cerclage done @ 14weeks to prevent preterm. When I had the surgery i was scared but you dont feel Nothing at all not even after I only had lite bleeding for one ot two days Ive been taking progesteron shoots weekly I would take them everyday if I had to. I started taking the progesteron at 5 weeks. I was put on bed rest the first 2weeks now I can do my normal activities but I keep my selft doing less things I have a lot of helpers we want this baby so badly but we want him on hes due date 8/8/11. Its good your seeing a H/Risk Dr. so am I they really keep you monotored. I have a vaginal U/S done every 3weeks to ck the cerclage is in place. Good luck I really hope this helped you keep us posted........
