How a cerclage procedure saved a mother's twin pregnancy - Medical Minute

Having a twin pregnancy comes with its complications. But, one family nearly lost everything before their twins were even born. But, thanks to a stitch, the family was able to welcome their twin boys.

I had a cerclage with my twins. We made it to 38 weeks!!!! Cerclage for twins is a great thing if it is needed!!

Had a cerclage placed with my son at nearly 24 weeks that saved him. I somehow made it to 38 weeks. He's 5 now.
And I'm currently 12+1 weeks pregnant and will be having my cerclage placed in 3 days. 💕

This is encouraging. I had a miscarriage with my 1st pregnancy (singleton) at 16wks6dys, but it had been a live birth, and they did not know what the cause was - especially since everything was normal at my doctor's appointment the day before (though they had not checked my cervical length). The doctors in the new state I live in suspected an incompetent cervix and have been checking my length around every 2 weeks since 14 weeks. I found out 2 days ago that my cervix had shortened significantly at 21 weeks. Had the cerclage placed yesterday. My doctors are not too sure of the efficacy of cerclages for twin pregnancy, but they said that it's my best option. My husband and I are praying that we make it to 37 weeks with no complications. I'm so grateful that it presented when it did, because if my appointment had been this coming Tuesday instead of last past Friday, they would have not put in the cerclage because they do not do it at 22 weeks here in SC.

I'm 19 weeks pregnant with twins and my doctor has advised for a cervical cerclage as a precautionary measure (because of the twins). I don't have any problem of a short cervix or my cervix opening up. I'll be going for the procedure tomorrow and I'm super nervous and frankly terrified. I've never had stuff like this done before. I don't know how much it's gonna hurt. And worst of all, I'll be put on bed rest which I just don't want to. I want to stay active, go out, and also thought of starting with some pregnancy exercises. But I can't do any of those :(((

Wawuuu thax for the video and congrats to your nice twins, I have a question can laughing affect the cerclage stitch? Pliz answer me becoz am scared

1) must have bandage from week 12 (as soon as slightly showing, especially if you are skinny)
2) moderate bed rest and slow motion life style
3) carry nothing heavier than a book
4) don't bend over for anything and try not push on your belly in any way
5) pelvic rest. No sex whatsoever.

Grew my cervix back within a week. Before that I was actively walking up the hills, wouldn't do that mistake again.
There are studies show that many women have shortened cervix at week 18 but it can grow back if you have a head on your shoulders.

Neither cerclage nor progesterone keep the twin pregnancy. There are studies for that. When you do everything and it worked - it is a typical survival's mistake. A pregnant woman should carry herself around as a crystal vase.

I wish I would’ve got one with my twins

A cerclage is never indicated for multiples. The limited research that’s been done regarding cerclages in multiple gestations actually shows that a cerclage can increase the likelihood of preterm birth. For every story like this, there are others with a negative outcome. This story is similar to someone being saved by *not* wearing a seatbelt during a severe car crash. Sure, it happens, but it doesn’t mean it was a good idea or would be repeatable on a regular basis.
