Hi Mesi

I am so very sorry for the loss of your little girl.

I lost my little boy in July this year due to IC and need a cervical cerlage next pregnancy also. I have done alot of research on IC and the various stitches that can be performed. From what I have read, the abdominal cerlage is done prior to pregnancy and can actually stay there until you complete your family. I have heard it is a little more successful than vaginal cerlages but means you have to deliver by C-section. Like AngelLukesMum said, I think they only consider it for women with naturally short cervixes. Now unless the article is describing a new type of abdominal stitch on the market, the abdominal stitch in Australia is not at all common.

Can you tell me which paper the article was in? I would love to read it.

I am sending you lots of support

Diana
