You are giving me so much hope, and you are bringing me so much happiness right now my story is so similar to yours and I know I am going to bring my baby home.
The nurses/doctors tell you when to push, they watch the contractions on the monitor and tell you when you’re contracting. It does slow down labor a bit because you can’t feel it.
I had loss my baby to incompetent cervix last March. The experience really broke me. When I learned I was pregnant I searched for new doctors. This time I'm so pleased with my doctors. They do not miss a step. They informed me on Tuesday that my cervix was beginning to shorten and scheduled my cerclage for Friday. I am a little nervous but I'm in good faith that my baby will be safe. I will be moving from NY to NC next year and this video makes me hopeful, that I can get great care there if/when I get pregnant again.
Im getting my Surgery Done Monday, I am so Scared this is my second Pregnancy but my first had Miscarriage at 21weeks.. Seeing your Video had me so much relief of having the surgery.. Thankyou.
I love this thank you so much for sharing. I lost my son at 20 weeks due to incompetent cervix and I'm pregnant again and going to be getting the cerclage next month. This whole pregnancy so far I've been a nervous wreck and wondering if the cerclage would even work sooo thankful for you 🙏❤
How did everything go for you ? Did you end up getting your cerclage? I also loss my son at 20 weeks due to an incompetent cervix and I’m pregnant now. I am a hot mess and a nervous wreck
Thank you so much for sharing! My husband and I just lost our son at 22+3 due to IC and I never knew I had IC and didn't have any idea what it was. Once I found out about it the doctors was to late and we could not save our baby, I have a video on our page. We have been completely heartbroken and watching your video has helped educate me more on IC and the cerclage. Right now I am just trying to figure out how to move forward. Thank you for your videos! We are new subscribers :)
Thank for you watching! I’m sorry for your loss. I will subscribe to you all as well, and I wish you all the best luck in the world getting your rainbow baby, if that’s what y’all want ❤️
You give me some motivation. I lost my baby girl at 27 weeks she lived for 3days and then passed due to premmie risks, its a traumatizing situation but I admire your bounce back. IC is so serious and the sad thing is most dr.s dont tell you about it or enough about until it happens. I think in a few more months I will try again.
I am 23 years old and I’m 21 weeks tomorrow to be exact. And tomorrow morning at 5 am I will be having this surgery and I am terrified with all my heart but i am gonna do anything and everything I can to keep this baby it’s my very first so this is all new to me as well. I have so many things going through my mind and I’m just praying to god that everything turns out for the better, I have no one to talk to about this but it gives me comfort knowing I’m not the only one that has to go through this. I have hope and I have faith and your video that I came across helped me feel alittle better knowing you made it to the end. I’m praying that for my self and anyone else going through this . I thought I was alone but I’m not . Thank you so much for ur post. ❤️
So, with my first I had an epidural. When it's time to push you can feel that heavy/pressure feeling. When they tell you to push, you can still feel the pressure from how hard you're pushing. That's the best way I know to explain it haha. So, you can still feel that you're pushing, and how hard you are pushing. They also held my legs up and let me know if I was pushing with my legs, instead of pulling. That helped a bunch as well.
Hello I know this video a year old but I just came across it and all I want to say is thank you for this. This was so informative. I actually lost my baby girl at 22 weeks 2 months ago. I actually found out last week im pregnant and this time with baby twins and my dr informed me of this procedure and recommends it. I started looking up and your video came up. This helped so much i have my procedure scheduled already in January. I was really scared about it but now I feel at ease after watching this. Thank you
Congratulations on your twins! I’m so glad you watched and you feel at ease. Honestly it’s the best thing that ever happened to us. My son is now 9 months old and everything was worth it! 🥰🥰
I have been doing some research to ease my mind. I've had two 5 month deliveries. I have no living children. I am pregnant with my third baby and I will be getting my cerclage at 12 weeks (next week). I am so nervous. I am so happy this worked out for you❤
@@jessicam6467 My cervix was still at full length. NO complications with the procedure or the rest of my pregnancy. I got it taken out at 36 weeks. The removal was a bit painful for me. I gave birth to my son at 37 weeks 6 days with contractions. They had to break my water. My so is Healthy no issues. 100% recommend the preventative cerclage. It worked for me and saved me so much more grief. Prayers it does the same for you.
@@starunique306 oh word thanks so much for the reply! Girl, no kidding, right now I am SURVIVING on prayers and faith!! I had 2 miscarriages at 6 wks previously and changed my doctor with this pregnancy. She found that I had a shortened cervix at my 6 wks appointment measuring at 27mm and told me the cerclage may be recommended. At my 12 wk appointment today, I measured the same but she recommended and booked me in for Monday to get the procedure done as a preventative measure. I am being hopeful but also grateful for all success stories of other women.
@@starunique306 congratulations on the birth of your baby! So glad to hear your happy news. I am only a little over 6 weeks pregnant but will need a preventive cerclage also. My first pregnancy I didn’t find out about my cervix until it was too late for the stitch, 21 weeks. Was prescribed progesterone and Light bed rest for a few months. Didn’t seem to matter much, as I was eventually hospitalized for 5 weeks due to dilation and funneling of my cervix, but held her in until almost 30 weeks! 6 weeks baby spent in the NICU but thank God she was so strong and doing well, just needed to grow. Baby will be 1 in a few days! Nervous about having cerclage but thankful I have the opportunity to get it this time and hoping for the best.
This is so encouraging... I lost 3 pregnancies and this is my 4th one and I am waiting for my cerclage.... Please pray for me wish me well sweet mothers 🙏🙏
I live in NC too I loss my baby to incompetent cervix in August. I need a good doc for the next pregnancy. Please message me and tell me where your doc is and your specialist
Thank you for this video!!! I wish you all the best. I had multiple 16 week miscarriages and would definitely have the cerclage done next time around. I may put myself on bed rest though cuz I am paranoid
Thank you so much for your detailed version of events. I have to get this same procedure tomorrow and I was freaking out because I’d prefer to get put to sleep, but my doctor want to give me an epidural. This is my first child and I know I need the surgery, but I’m just concerned about sticking a needle in my back and the feeling of not being able to move.
Erika J it went very well. Although I freaked out a bit not being able to feel my legs. The anesthesiologist ended up giving me a very small dosage of Ativan to calm me down with my doctor’s approval. The epidural wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I’ll be 24 weeks this Thursday.
This video is wonderful I lost my son at 18 weeks and my daughter at 15 weeks before they diagnosed me with incompetent cervix I’m pregnant now and I have to get a Cerclage now and I’m looking forward to it when you said you get to bring a baby now I felt that so much this time will be different I will bring my baby home I trust my doctor and he listens to me we together are a team I’m very happy for you congratulations on the new baby ❤️❤️
LaToya Gamble thank you for sharing your story I’ve had 2 losses aswell last my daughter at 19 weeks last year the week before Mother’s Day and my son at 16 weeks in 2017! We just found out were pregnant again and I will be having a cerclage aswell! Can’t wait to have it how are you doing ?
Aura Chatman I’m doing great now I got the cerclage places and it’s been great no issues or problems so far I’m glad we did it because I had started to dilate but now I know for sure this baby is going to be born and I can’t wait I’m so happy for you as well how far are you now
Hello, is the a way to contact you? Or have you contact me? I am high risk I live in NC. I also need a cerclage. I am very interested in seeing Dr. Thorp. I did have some questions for you.
I lost 3 babies first at 22 weeks 2) 16 weeks 3) 13weeks and 5 days all my water broke but I had chance to do a cerclage I think my doctors don’t gave me good care 😢😢😢coz I asked my doctor to do a cerclage at 12 weeks he didn’t want to he proposed to do it at 14 weeks 😢
I lost my first baby at 19w4d in July after my water broke and he was born so prematurely. I’m 12 weeks pregnant now and I have a cerclage scheduled in 3 weeks. I’m scared 😩 I’ve never had any of those meds before except laughing gas when I had my wisdom teeth out which was so awful to me 😩 any reassurance to offer? I’ll also be doing the progesterone shots at 16 weeks.
@@BB-tg8yu it honestly wasn’t bad at all and my surgery went good! I was so scared of getting the spinal anesthesia but I honestly could barely feel the shot. You’ll be fine 😊
What forums are you in?! I lost my baby in December and I’m still so lost. My Ob told me I’ll be eligible for a cerclage my next pregnancy and linked me to a specialist.. I still feel a lost and confused and think a forum will help me!
I also lost my baby in december. It was crazy because I had been to the docter the week before to get the full ultrasounds of everything . In the docter said everything was good . But he wasnt doing wat he post post to so I lost my baby boy. I was so sad and ashame and anger but after I see I'm not the only this happened to I feel somewhat okay telling others that went through the same thing my store..
I am now pregnant and it is a nightmare I am early in my pregnancy but everyday I am worried everyday I am stressed I know we want to have another baby but we have to be mentally prepared because it will still be a fight until the baby gets here safe I lost my daughter back in March at almost 6 months it's early in the pregnancy but I am so sad and miserable
Hi I’m getting a cerclage in 2 weeks at 12 weeks I’m 25 and I’m a scaredy-cat for real but I’m also excited this is my third pregnancy but I had two miscarriages your video is very helpful
Jaimilya Merriwether hi! I’m sorry to hear about your losses. I’m glad you and your doctor made the choice to be proactive and get you a cerclage!! This could mean the difference between saving your baby whom you want so much. I just had my baby Friday, February 28th and I would do the cerclage every single time. It was so worth it. Good luck and keep me updated on how it goes! ❤️❤️
Erika J Thank you for replying I’m glad to hear that I was looking to see if all went well with your little one and I’m so happy it did ☺️ This pregnancy for me has been different from my first I’m comparing it with that pregnancy because my last pregnancy I had a missed miscarriage where we found out at our 10 week appointment it was only measuring 7 weeks 4 days with no heartbeat and so I had a D&C June of last year but anyways with my first pregnancy at 20 weeks and 4days in 2015 I loss my son due to my cervix opening and they said I was cervical incompetent and me not knowing I was really having back pain that day because of contractions worked my full shift and was told no one could cover me so I couldn’t leave when the back pain got worse that was really hard on me and still it hurts I question myself will I be able to be someone’s mother but that pregnancy up until that time was just full of happiness and disbelief that there is actually a little baby growing in me and I just feel there was something there that was good and here with my third pregnancy and the second was also hard even though we never did get to see that heartbeat it was there and I found myself anxious at both ultrasounds I had this time afraid something maybe wrong and in my prayers asking for signs and comfort and all is fine but I worry and I don’t want to worry anymore it’s just hard but I will keep you updated and I ask would you pray for baby and I and I’m sorry for writing a book I just like to hear people’s stories and sharing mine
Jaimilya Merriwether wow, you have had quite an experience. I will be praying for you and baby. Let me tell you, it is normal to worry after a loss. I honestly worried every single day of this pregnancy because once you experience that sort of pain, you never forget it. It is normal. Every week will be a milestone and should be celebrated. God bless you! ❤️
Erika J thank you so much encouraging words 😊 it helps to be reminded I’m not alone and it’s normal to worry thank you again and God bless you as well!
Erika J hi how are you I just wanted to let you know I got my cerclage yesterday and all is well except some soreness in my neck and shoulders and back I was told I would be getting a epidural and when the time came the anesthesia doctor couldn’t reach my spine and used every needle he could cause he really didn’t wanna put me to sleep I ended up though being put to sleep and baby heart rate before and after so good I been home resting and as far as the cerclage I don’t really feel any pain anyways God bless you and I hope your having a good night
@@ratikaarora5997 cervical length is 2.7before cerelage. And am use washroom minimum time. Am take shower, 2to 3 days after.. Now am deliver my twins baby girl and baby boy. They are fine.
I lost my baby at almost 20weeks too due to IC early last Year and miscarried again towards the end of last year also. Now I am pregnant again and scared, I am scheduled for cerclage at 12 or 13 weeks. We have stopped sex since I got to know about the pregnancy. I feel really bad for my husband. I wanted to know if you got epidural or something else. I had a bad experience with epidural last year
Aby I had a cerclage with epidural it didn’t feel good but then they put me to sleep so I was completely unaware of how the surgery went down until I woke up and didn’t feel any pain
I just got my cerclage yesterday. They did spinal injection. I lost my twins last December. I had an epidural and it was horrible. Bp dropped, short of breath. I told the doctor this time around and he said that they must have went to high and he gave me a smaller dose and lower on my back, i felt completely fine and the procedure took 5 min but the numbness took 3 hrs to wear off. Im 13 weeks
@@teffamac6681 I just got my cerclage done last week. I didn't feel any pain too and I am just always on the bed for now. I wanted to know if you are taking vaginal progesterone or shot
@@mariap4870 oh I had a very bad headache when I lost my first baby for almost 4months, I had to go do CT scan to check what was wrong with me. I had my cerclage done ĺast week and the whole procedure went well. Are you taking vagina progesterone or shot?
I lost my daughter at 22weeks in 2018 due to an incompetent cervix, i am pregnant now at 10 weeks & im thinking about switching my provider as well because the one i have wants to give me a cerclage at 18weeks & i feel like thats wayyy too late & i cannot risk losing another child! They are not as responsive to when i call & feel like they are not as professional anymore
Prabhakar Tawde is the cerclage painful? Getting it was not, I had spinal anesthesia plus some pain medicine in my iv. Recovery was a piece of cake. As far as precautions, I take Makena (progesterone) shots every Monday which started at 16 weeks. I’m 34 weeks now.
@@erika.creech my doctor didn't tell me that I have short cervix ,I was spoting from 6 week so she put me on bed rest,then I started spotting frequently then she gave me progesterone shots till 12 week on every week on Monday after 12th week she discontinued my progesterone shots and after 12th week I miscarried my baby week later on Monday..I went to the other hospital in emergency and there I drop the baby on floor which was very horrible moment of life..do you had fever,chills,vomiting on the day of miscarriage ,my dr said these are sing of miscarriage but I couldn't understand how these symptoms are related to short cervix. .plz Pardon me for my poor English
angel02124 yes I was surprised too! But that’s one of the reasons why I chose the doctor I chose. He doesn’t believe in pelvic rest unless medically necessary..he trusts that his stitch will stay closed and no infection will occur. I’m currently 24 weeks and 2 days and have sex 3-4 times weekly and my cervix is over 5cm long now with the stitch and weekly progesterone shots!
@@erika.creech i had my cerglage after a loss I'm really scared for my baby now. I'm working I do the house work by myself because I have too there is no one to help. Does it effect the stich . I was not put on bed rest the dr said sex is ok but I feel that it is really tight down there . So i do not feel comfortable. I read that sex is not ok for cerglage. Plz talk to me about your experience.There is no pain except some backpain when I doing house work. Did you reach full term.
I started watching your videos when I found out I had incompetent cervix last June. Unfortunately I gave birth to my daughter 7/4/20 and she passed 4 days later. We are expecting again (inserts happy dance) and I will be getting my preventative cerclage in a few weeks. We’re super happy but taking each day at a time. Thank you vlogging your journey to give me hope throughout this journey.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I definitely know the feeling of taking things one day at a time, but you also deserve to enjoy it! It will be soo worth it in the end. Thank you and good luck with your Cerclage and pregnancy ❤️❤️❤️
The joy on your face gave me so much happiness. I love this 🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing! Great advice I will inquire about the highest stitch ever I’m glad all worked out for you.

Jaimilya Merriwether hi! I’m sorry to hear about your losses. I’m glad you and your doctor made the choice to be proactive and get you a cerclage!! This could mean the difference between saving your baby whom you want so much. I just had my baby Friday, February 28th and I would do the cerclage every single time. It was so worth it. Good luck and keep me updated on how it goes! ❤️❤️
Erika J Thank you for replying I’m glad to hear that I was looking to see if all went well with your little one and I’m so happy it did ☺️ This pregnancy for me has been different from my first I’m comparing it with that pregnancy because my last pregnancy I had a missed miscarriage where we found out at our 10 week appointment it was only measuring 7 weeks 4 days with no heartbeat and so I had a D&C June of last year but anyways with my first pregnancy at 20 weeks and 4days in 2015 I loss my son due to my cervix opening and they said I was cervical incompetent and me not knowing I was really having back pain that day because of contractions worked my full shift and was told no one could cover me so I couldn’t leave when the back pain got worse that was really hard on me and still it hurts I question myself will I be able to be someone’s mother but that pregnancy up until that time was just full of happiness and disbelief that there is actually a little baby growing in me and I just feel there was something there that was good and here with my third pregnancy and the second was also hard even though we never did get to see that heartbeat it was there and I found myself anxious at both ultrasounds I had this time afraid something maybe wrong and in my prayers asking for signs and comfort and all is fine but I worry and I don’t want to worry anymore it’s just hard but I will keep you updated and I ask would you pray for baby and I and I’m sorry for writing a book I just like to hear people’s stories and sharing mine
Jaimilya Merriwether wow, you have had quite an experience. I will be praying for you and baby. Let me tell you, it is normal to worry after a loss. I honestly worried every single day of this pregnancy because once you experience that sort of pain, you never forget it. It is normal. Every week will be a milestone and should be celebrated. God bless you! ❤️
Erika J thank you so much encouraging words 😊 it helps to be reminded I’m not alone and it’s normal to worry thank you again and God bless you as well!
Erika J hi how are you I just wanted to let you know I got my cerclage yesterday and all is well except some soreness in my neck and shoulders and back I was told I would be getting a epidural and when the time came the anesthesia doctor couldn’t reach my spine and used every needle he could cause he really didn’t wanna put me to sleep I ended up though being put to sleep and baby heart rate before and after so good I been home resting and as far as the cerclage I don’t really feel any pain anyways God bless you and I hope your having a good night
Have you bene working after the cerclage?
I am a hairstylist and I cut back to only 2 days per week durin my pregnancy
Shirodkar stitches means c-section
Prabhakar Tawde not with my doctor.
No it doesn’t mean c sec. it means a permanent cerclage.
Hi am in 21week. My cervical cerelage done in 16week because of short cervix.and am fallo strict bed rest. With twins.
Could you please share what was your cervical length before cerclarge ? Are you allowed to use washroom after cerclarge ?
@@ratikaarora5997 cervical length is 2.7before cerelage. And am use washroom minimum time. Am take shower, 2to 3 days after.. Now am deliver my twins baby girl and baby boy. They are fine.
I lost my baby at almost 20weeks too due to IC early last Year and miscarried again towards the end of last year also. Now I am pregnant again and scared, I am scheduled for cerclage at 12 or 13 weeks. We have stopped sex since I got to know about the pregnancy. I feel really bad for my husband. I wanted to know if you got epidural or something else. I had a bad experience with epidural last year
Aby I had a cerclage with epidural it didn’t feel good but then they put me to sleep so I was completely unaware of how the surgery went down until I woke up and didn’t feel any pain
I just got my cerclage yesterday. They did spinal injection. I lost my twins last December. I had an epidural and it was horrible. Bp dropped, short of breath. I told the doctor this time around and he said that they must have went to high and he gave me a smaller dose and lower on my back, i felt completely fine and the procedure took 5 min but the numbness took 3 hrs to wear off. Im 13 weeks
@@teffamac6681 I just got my cerclage done last week. I didn't feel any pain too and I am just always on the bed for now. I wanted to know if you are taking vaginal progesterone or shot
@@mariap4870 oh I had a very bad headache when I lost my first baby for almost 4months, I had to go do CT scan to check what was wrong with me. I had my cerclage done ĺast week and the whole procedure went well. Are you taking vagina progesterone or shot?
I lost my daughter at 22weeks in 2018 due to an incompetent cervix, i am pregnant now at 10 weeks & im thinking about switching my provider as well because the one i have wants to give me a cerclage at 18weeks & i feel like thats wayyy too late & i cannot risk losing another child! They are not as responsive to when i call & feel like they are not as professional anymore
18 weeks is too late
That’s exactly what i said, im recently switched my to a better health care provider and they are sooo much better than the last one 🙌🏾
What type of Cerclage did you get
Oluchi modesty the Modified Shirodkar Cerclage
Erika J modified
Is it painful? What precautions are u taking
Prabhakar Tawde is the cerclage painful? Getting it was not, I had spinal anesthesia plus some pain medicine in my iv. Recovery was a piece of cake. As far as precautions, I take Makena (progesterone) shots every Monday which started at 16 weeks. I’m 34 weeks now.
@@erika.creech my doctor didn't tell me that I have short cervix ,I was spoting from 6 week so she put me on bed rest,then I started spotting frequently then she gave me progesterone shots till 12 week on every week on Monday after 12th week she discontinued my progesterone shots and after 12th week I miscarried my baby week later on Monday..I went to the other hospital in emergency and there I drop the baby on floor which was very horrible moment of life..do you had fever,chills,vomiting on the day of miscarriage ,my dr said these are sing of miscarriage but I couldn't understand how these symptoms are related to short cervix. .plz Pardon me for my poor English
Prabhakar Tawde your English is fine ❤️ I’m really sorry you experienced your loss. So what were you diagnosed with?
They said I have weak cervix and I have to get cervical cerclage done on 11 weeks in my next pregnancy
Prabhakar Tawde great, I’m glad you have that answer!
You have done vagincal cerclage or adbominal cerclage
I had a vaginal cerclage
@@erika.creechinthis time u can walk in room or not?compleate bed rest?
I’m surprise he said sex I was put on no sex due to risk of infection
angel02124 yes I was surprised too! But that’s one of the reasons why I chose the doctor I chose. He doesn’t believe in pelvic rest unless medically necessary..he trusts that his stitch will stay closed and no infection will occur. I’m currently 24 weeks and 2 days and have sex 3-4 times weekly and my cervix is over 5cm long now with the stitch and weekly progesterone shots!
@@erika.creech i had my cerglage after a loss I'm really scared for my baby now. I'm working I do the house work by myself because I have too there is no one to help. Does it effect the stich . I was not put on bed rest the dr said sex is ok but I feel that it is really tight down there . So i do not feel comfortable. I read that sex is not ok for cerglage. Plz talk to me about your experience.There is no pain except some backpain when I doing house work. Did you reach full term.
@@ghizlaneaitbihi6493 how r u ?? Plz tell ur daily routine ..i have carclage nd im on strict bedrest
You take completely bedrest
I started watching your videos when I found out I had incompetent cervix last June. Unfortunately I gave birth to my daughter 7/4/20 and she passed 4 days later. We are expecting again (inserts happy dance) and I will be getting my preventative cerclage in a few weeks. We’re super happy but taking each day at a time. Thank you vlogging your journey to give me hope throughout this journey.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I definitely know the feeling of taking things one day at a time, but you also deserve to enjoy it! It will be soo worth it in the end. Thank you and good luck with your Cerclage and pregnancy ❤️❤️❤️
