Hey ladies,
I had ic with my triplets and had a cerclage placed at 12 weeks that failed. Ended up on bedrest in hosptial for 8weeks and had them at 26weeks. All are fine now, but we are pregnant again with one and switched high risk doctors for this pregnancy. The doctor says cerclages with more than one baby actually has been shown to sometimes cause preterm births...I was shocked by this...
He has been researching studies that actually say progesterones suppositories done vaginally into the 36week actually is as effective as bedrest. And bedrest has been shown to be as effective as a cerclage...
Anyway, I thought I'd share this news with you all. If you are doing the wait and see right now, try to talk to your doctor about a suppository as the first step.
The study shows that it strenghtens the muscles that keep the cervix closed... very interesting. I'll document how it works for me as I go along, but I'm hoping to make it full term this round...
Goodluck and Godbless you all
