    I found out I have an incompetent cervix with my first and only child when I was 21 weeks and got an emergency cerclage placed at 22 weeks... It only helped me out until 28 weeks but I was grateful for those weeks it did help me!! My daughter was born in April of 2018 and stayed in NICU for 61 days, and she is the best baby ever! I share this to say even when things may seem like they are going left trust in God that there will be light at the end of the tunnel. Us women are AMAZING.

    I purposely looked for your video to share how your story helped me. I learned at 20 weeks I was dilating. The next day I was given emergent cerclage and placed on bed rest. I watched all, I mean everyone of your videos to gain hope. I was scared out of my mind! Each doctor visit, I felt defeated.... but I'll watch your video and felt better. I had my daughter at 38 weeks. Healthy! Thank you for sharing this intimate moment with us. It got me through my most trying times.

    I just lost my baby boy at 22weeks due to incompetent cervix. I had mild symptoms I chalked up to Braxton Hicks and low back pain I thought was just due to shift in gravity. Less than 12 hours later I was increasingly uncomfortable and left work for an ultrasound. I was 2cm dilated and cervix was 1.75. We went straight to the hospital and my water broke almost immediately and I gave birth within the hour. It is the worst experience I have ever gone through and continue to go through. Videos like yours help me not to lose hope for the next time. We suffered from infertility so this felt like an extra kick in the gut. Luckily we are with one of the best practices in the northeast and already seeing a MFM to plan and prepare for next time. I thank you so much for sharing your story.

    Thank you so much for sharing your story. God bless you and your family! I had my first baby back in 2005 at 27 weeks...our stories were very similar with our first pregnancy as I didn't know anything was wrong until oh your cervix is opening, but for me it was too late and dangerous for the emergency cerclage. I was terrified. I held my son in preterm labor at a hospital 2 hours away for 16 days! And he was born at 2 lbs 7 oz...that was a long and scary journey that turned out well because my son survived and he will be 16 this summer! Praise God! Well unexpectedly I am pregnant again and knew I wanted a cerclage and am scheduled to get mine at 13 weeks this upcoming Tuesday. Hoping you read this and truly just wanted to ask if you would pray for me and my baby. I am nervous, but have faith that God will see me through as He did the last time around. You are so awesome for offering to pray for women in this video, it truly touched my heart. And your information made me hopeful that I will be a Mom of two as well💖 Thank you so much for being you!

    I found out I had cervical incompetence at 17wks. Everything happened so fast from heavy cramping to extreme bleeding and blood clots. I knew what was happening but I didn't know why so I went to the hospital. It was so scary. (Being in the 2nd trimester I thought I was safe from miscarriage.) My baby boy didn't make it as my water broke and they saw that his arm was already sticking out of my cervix. I'm pregnant again this time at 11 weeks and coming in with this knowledge of my condition, I'd like to get a preventative cerclage.

    Tha I you so much for sharing your story!! I just had to have an emergent cerclage at 21wks, and I was terrified and felt betrayed by my body. I hadn’t had any contractions or any sign that I was dilated. Luckily my OB thought she saw some funneling on my anatomy scan and I got in with the high risk doctors the same week!! The high risk doctor got me in for surgery the morning after she saw me! It is so good to hear your story, as J am still terrified I won’t make it to term. Also knowing if we want to have anymore children I will need this done again it is nice to hear how different your experiences were!!

    Thanks for sharing this video ! I have a similar case as yours and would like to ask you about the bed rest . My doc did not suggest complete bed rest but recommended to not perform any strenuous activity / pelvic rest / no heavy lifting and no long walks. I am scared to even walk for 10 mins . Please share your journey about the resting part post the procedure like how much did you walk , were you doing normal household chores (cooking etc.) .

    • @TheCostaChic
      @TheCostaChic 4 місяці тому

      I just had emergency cerclage at 20w, I was completely open by the time of surgery and because of that I was ordered strict bed rest for the next 8 weeks minimum. Basically putting no pressure on the cervix so I cannot even sit straight but only lean back. I think it does depend how serious your situation was, mine due to full opening ended up being worse that what they originally thought.

I wish I knew sooner but the good thing I know now .My 1st baby I lost in 18 weeks & baby number 2 I lost it in 21 weeks & 5 days I went into premature labor I was dilated 2cm. I knew this was a bad sign & I was so scared then I had to get a emergency cerclage depending how my body is reacting but since I was actively in labor I kept dilated more & more this was a terrible sign. I was supposed to get a emergency cervical
    cerclage the next morning everything was to late & I wish I knew before I didn’t have the care that I needed & I already had 2 bad experiences from pregnancy honestly I was devastated & hurt deep inside down & nobody understand unless you can related with me if you have cervix insufficiency too.

    My older sister recently just lost her baby at 17wk. She had ivf done in another country and its such roller coaster for her. Just weeksbefore her miscarriage, i talk to her about getting a cerclage because she kept bleeding here and there with her shortening cervix. Her dr said that he doesnt think she needs it because its can be uncomfortable. And that she thinks because her cervix is closing thats why he didnt do it. But Tbh with you i just feel like i am blaming myself so much right now because i feel that the procedure can probably save her baby. Watching your videos gives me lots of hope. I just teared up because of how much us women have to go through. Motherhood is hard and rewarding as i do have a lil girl of my own. I just really wish my sis get to experience that also. I might have to show her your videos because it def. give me hope. She is coping right now and hoping she stay strong. Even myself i cant stop crying because my heart hurt for her so much.

    Thank you so much for sharing you experiences. This is my first pregnancy and I learned at my 18 week fetal anatomy scan that I had a very short cervix (this past Tuesday). Yesterday, on Wednesday, I went into my OB for a follow up and got the terrible news that I was 1 cm dilated. Luckily I was able to get scheduled at another hospital with one of the best surgeons in the county. I had my cerclage put in last night and the procedure went so well. I had minor pain and took just one tylenol and zero bleeding. I am praying so so hard that my baby boy stays in till June. These next two weeks will be filled with anxiety and worrisome, but at the same time hope. I’m so happy to have decided on the cerclage procedure because waiting for the progesterone suppositories seemed too risky. Again, thank you so much for this video. You have given me so much more hope and I pray that these next two weeks to be in “the safe zone” that God continues to bless me in carrying my precious miracle. Thank you thank you

      siri k hey Siri, my regret was not staying on bed after 28 weeks ( I was staying in hospital since week 21 and got discharged at week 28, here Drs and Nurses kept telling me to take walks etc.. ) and ended up gave birth at week 30 ( Baby then born at week 30 with many complications: Bleeding in brain, infections etc... had to undergo with Brain Surgery to put a Reservoir inside the head). He had to stay in Nicu for 2.5 months. Being born early it is very difficult to raise, weak at many things : weak muscles , weak sucks and swallowing etc.. even now 5 months of real age every week we go to hospital twice ... Depends on your situations if you don’t have worries with blood clots , staying on bed I believe will help a lot. When I was talking walks I felt pain but they said don’t worry, if I knew I would have staying on bed. How important to give baby a full term stay in our belly!

      I went for week 11 ultrasound scan because VOG wanted me to put the knot. But, unfortunately my baby found with abnormalities (3,4 neural tube defects) . I repeated the scan again. Then, they requested me to terminate the baby in week 13. That is happened.

    After cerclage, you mentioned that you did not let the doctors do vaginal ultrasound. How about checking the cervix? In my last pregnancy, they did vaginal ultrasound and also used a Pap smear like tool to check my cervix. I had an emergency cerclage at 15 weeks, we lost our baby at 21 weeks. I’m trying to find what can I do to prevent any pressure to cervix next time. Please advise on how your doctors checked/measured your cervix after cerclage.

    I went in at my 21 week with a shortened cervix and got put on progesterone and was told to come every Friday for 4 weeks. My second week my doctor said I was stable and keep taking the medication , 2 days later I was in the hositpal with bad cramping and discharge and I was 80% effaced almost 2cm dilated and had an emergency cerclage. I’m not 27 weeks 5 days and went in today with cramping and discharge and I’m 1 cm dilated again and my cervix is opening and the cerclage is still in place ! They gave me a shot for the babies lungs bevause they think
    I’m working towards preterm labor but I’m so lost why they didn’t remove the stitches then . Like what happens if they rip ?? I’m terrified . They never said what this discharge is they ran bunch of swabs on me and everything was negative . But never said what this discharge is. I’m lost and lowkey terrified because this whole pregnancy has been wild

    I watched this video a year ago when I lost my son at 22 weeks. I had an emergency cerclage with him at 19.5 weeks but it failed and our baby boy was born with wings. The ob told us next time we’d get a preventative cerclage and that way we’d never have to go through that pain again. I found this video after loosing him and learning about preventative cerclages and it gave me so much hope to hear your story. We had conceived our son Valentine’s Day last year and then we ended up conceiving our rainbow baby girl the week after Valentine’s Day this year. We felt this was our son sending us our rainbow and we were so excited. I got the preventative cerclage placed at 11.4 weeks in April and everything went perfect after that. Then at 16 weeks I asked if we could get the 17p (Makena) shots you help make sure I didn’t have any issues contracting too early. I got the first shot may 18th I started contracting immediately after that shot.... we lost our sweet baby girl may 31st at 18.3 weeks just shy of 2 weeks after starting the shot. I’m lost right now everyone said a preventative cerclage would have gotten us our rainbow and now here I am having lost 2 Angels not even a year apart. I’m a wreck, people are telling me I can get a TAC next time and that’ll do it but all I keep thinking is they said that about the cerclage. I’m so broken and so lost

    Thanks for sharing your stories. God bless! There are lots of questions on my mind. Especially what to expect during and after a cerclage procedure. Were you on sedatives during the procedure? Did you have to spend a few days in hospital after the procedure? What is to be expected as normal afterwards? Pain? Bleeding? What does bedrest mean? No movements? I work 2 hours away from home. Would it be advisable to go back to work? Would I be able to do a long distance flight? Especially if im having my baby away from my home country? I cant believe I may be on pelvic bedrest from week 12😟 Pls answer. I'll be looking forward to your responses.

    So glad to hear your little one made it with the emergency one all I’ve been able to find is success story’s when people get the I guess it’s called preventative cerclage but none like the one I had where it’s an emergency. I’d been having having contractions for a month or 2 but my ob kept ignoring me saying I was fine and wouldn’t bring me in to check me. Then out of nowhere I lost my mucus plug, not even 24 hours later I went to the er and I was dilating! They sent me home I was lost and had no clue what to do but I felt something was seriously wrong so I decided to check myself and good thing I did cause I found out my water sac was having out of my cervix I called my ob they wouldn’t listen so I called a high risk ob that another ob I spoke to said I needed to get sent up to and 5 minutes after leaving them a message I got a call back from my ob saying I needed to get there ASAP. They took one look and called an ambulance to transfer me to hospital next door then flight lifted me to this states top ob hospital. When I got there they said I needed a cerclage but couldn’t get one till I stopped contracting and if I had an infection and even if they could operator there was only a 10% chance they could do it without accidentally breaking my water. They kept me over night to monitor me and then the Next morning not only had I stopped contracting but my water sac had gone back up in me so they did the surgery and it was a success. Unfortunately I continued to contract after the surgery and I’m still contracting and as you know that’s a very dangerous thing to happen cause your cervix can rip. It all happened when I was 19 weeks and I’m now 20 weeks and 3 days and praying my contractions stop so i can carry him long enough for him to survive

    • @joactive
      @joactive  5 років тому

      For placement of my cerclages and for the removal of one they used the spinal anesthetic for all three of them. All 3 were done in an operating room. With cerclages there are a lot of factors that can go wrong and with the placement of the cervix local anestsia would not be effective because after this type of procedure even the uterus is irritated so I think (this is just my thought) that a local just on the cervix would not be enough to make the procedure tolerable.
