from going into labor early, i feel great and am very excited because they are confident they are going to be able to keep me off of bed rest (last time i was on bed rest two months in the hospital) i guess i am curious if you or anyone you know has had this done and how did they do after their surgery? did they end up going full term?
anything you know would help. thanks alot.

I know someone who had this done after her first baby was born very premature (but perfectly fine), and had two successful pregancies after that. I believe the second one she did have bedrest for like 2 weeks at the end but still went full term- but by then you're pretty much in the clear anyway.

I have not had this done, but I'm a nurse and work in a Neonatal ICU. I know women that have had great success from this procedure (cerclage.) I have known a few (very few) that went into labor early anyways. I think if it's just an incompetent cervix, then the success rate is very high. But premature labor is a different story. I wish you the best of luck and congrats on the pregnancy. Wishing you a happy healthy TERM baby!

I had this done twice after losing my first baby at 21 weeks. With my second pregnancy, I had the cerclage and no problems for the rest of the pregnancy. I just stayed off my feet as much as possible. I had the stitch removed at 37 weeks and had the baby just a couple of days past my due date. With my third pregnancy, I was doing fine until around 25 weeks when I started having contractions. I went on meds to help stop the contractions and again, stayed off my feet as much as I could (though with a 2-year-old running around it was hard!). I had the stitch removed at 37 weeks and again, had the baby a few days past my due date. Good luck!
