Well you know my story With the twins I had the stitch at 19wks after shortening and funneling was found.. Babies born at 24wks.. This time stitch at 14wks.. It held.. My cervix didn't open til right before J was born when my contractions were very very strong..
If she just has the cervix issue by itself she could carry full term.. Is she contracting? If not, there is no reason the stitch wont hold..In my case the contractions were just too strong.. If she is contracting tell her to take some calcium magnesium, it helps calm the uterus.. Actually tell her to get in anyway JIC..
I really hope this bub stays.. Can you or someone organise to do her meals, shopping, take her child etc.. She really needs to be on as strict bed rest as she can get away with..
My SIL had he first DD at 24.5 weeks, and then her second DD was born at 20 weeks, she has an incompetent cervix.
With the third, they put a stitch in at 13 weeks, and bubs was born full term.
She said it didn't hurt, had very minimal bleeding right after the procedure and it (apparently) worked. They took it out at 37 weeks and she carried until 39. She was on bedrest though for the last month of the pregnancy after she had some early and strong BH, just to be on the safe side.
