Cervical cerclage is a surgery conducted to prevent the baby's premature birth due to the mother's weakened cervix. Sometimes the cervix isn't strong enough to hold the baby in until the fulfilment of 9 months. A weak cervix may pave the way to easy delivery and fewer labour pains than usual but can also lead to the baby's premature birth. Your doctor can diagnose such a weakness in the cervix during the second trimester via ultrasounds. They may also recommend the procedure if you've experienced painless dilation in the second trimester. Placing a cerclage isn't advised if you have a short cervix and are expecting twins. After a Cervical Cerclage, you may go through mild period cramps and may also witness spotting. If you are spotting, try to avoid tampons and use pads instead. It is advised to consult your OBgyn before resuming sexual activities.
