Hi, Well we lost our first baby at 20 wks due to a incompetent cervix.
So the next time I was pregnant I had a scan and they noticed it was getting quite short. I was also 22 wks when they found it.
Then the next day I was put in hosp and had the stitch put in under an epidural as it can be dangerous to go under anaesthetic when your pregnant sometimes.
It went in fine and I only had a small amount of bleeding.
I had to take it easy for the rest of the pregnancy and dtd was a no no!
It wasn't uncomfortable at all.
I had it taken out at 37 weeks then went into labour naturally at 38 + 2. I did end up with a c section but that was due to DS having his head in the wrong position.
With DS2 I had a vbac and all went well!
So good luck to your friend hun and I hope I helped a little bit.
