i think i have many questions about this, but it is getting almost time for me to have this done, i am 12 weeks and they are doing it at 14 weeks. i am not sure of the whole procedure, my doctor tried explaining it to me, but i think i was too nervous at the time to pay attention, has anyone had to have a stitch. if so what is the procedure like? how long are you in the hospital and are you in pain?
please help, thanks

They say that you only hear every 6 words the Dr. says. It's ok, and you can call back and ask the Dr. more about it if you feel uncomfortable. They don't mind answering questions.

There's a site that explains most aspects of it.

My daughter has had this done three times. It is one day surgery. You go home the same day. She is a little sore afterwards but, it is managable. I am not sure about the whole procedure but, they sew you closed so you can carry the pregnancy to term. It works I do know that. My daughter has 4 beautiful kids. Don't be scared or at least try not to be. It's all worth it in the end.
