My gynac mentioned this stitch thing in my next visit and now im a bit worried about why she suggested it. I have a history of one early loss. Can someone explain why this is done?
I see many moms asking about this on the forum. It's called cerclage and is done if the cervix is short or weak. It sounds scary but is actually very common and has a very high success rate in keeping the baby safe inside.
My friend had this done because her cervix was short, and she had to take full bed rest after that. She used to ask me to bring her favorite pani puri and sweets to keep her happy! It's just a safety measure to hold the baby in place.
I had a cervical stitch in my second trimester because my cervix was shortening. It was a simple, quick procedure done under anesthesia and it helped me carry my baby safely to full term. Your doctor will explain if it's needed for you.
Don't worry, beta, it is a very safe and standard procedure to prevent preterm delivery. If the doctor has suggested it, it's only to keep your baby secure. Take complete rest and don't lift any heavy weights at all.
It's done to prevent early delivery by reinforcing the cervix. If you get it done, you might need to take some time off from work or work from home for a few weeks. Plan your leaves in advance so you can rest properly without office stress.
It's done to prevent early labor or miscarriage if the cervix is weak or opening too soon. It acts like a temporary lock to keep the baby safe inside. It's a very common procedure, so trust your doctor's call.
It is basically to support the uterus when the cervix is too weak to hold the baby's weight. I had a friend who got it and she delivered a beautiful healthy baby who she is breastfeeding successfully now. Just rest as advised by your doctor.
