Glad to hear everything went okay. No epidural.... that would scare me. I don't know why some of us have trouble staying or getting pregnant, its defiantly on my list of questions I plan on asking god when I get there... please continue to keep us update on your progress praying for full term for you...

Lots of Love,
Samantha

You are doing all you can to protect your baby. You can't control your cervix (believe me, I tried!) so by getting the best medical care you can you are doing your best for your little one. I know there are lots of people who have gone close to full term with cerclages; you will be one of them!

Wishing you all the best!

I'm glad that your docs are keeping a watchful eye for both you and baby-to-be. I hope they can give you "something" when the big day comes." I hope that the cerclage does what it's supposed to do. Just keeping taking it one day at a time.

Thinking of you,

I am so glad to hear that your procedure went well. Take it one day at a time. You getting good prenatal care is the best thing you can do for your baby. I hope your next 23 weeks is smooth sailing. My sister had to have a rescue cerclage and the the baby would not come out. I hope this for you.

I am so glad that the surgery went well! I hope that you are able to figure out a plan with your doctor about the epidural.

Glad the surgery went well. Please don't blame yourself for what your cervix is doing ... you definitely can't control that aspect. What you can control is being vigilant about your care as you are doing.

Since you had the cerclage placed -- will they check you often through u/s to make sure all is well? I've never had one -- so i'm curious.

Hang in there -- and post often.
