What is a cervical stitch during pregnancy?

A cervical stitch, also known as cerclage, is a procedure in which stitches are placed around the cervix to help keep it closed during pregnancy. It is typically recommended for women with cervical insufficiency or a history of pregnancy loss related to premature cervical opening.

When is cerclage performed?

Cerclage is commonly performed between 12 and 24 weeks of pregnancy, depending on your medical history, ultrasound findings, and cervical length. In some situations, an emergency cerclage may be recommended if cervical changes are detected later in pregnancy.

Can I have a normal delivery after a cervical stitch?

In many cases, the cervical stitch is removed near the end of pregnancy, allowing labor to occur naturally if there are no other medical reasons for a cesarean delivery. Your obstetrician will discuss the safest delivery plan based on your pregnancy.
