Do you know what a cerclage is? (sounds like colage)

Well, I went to an OB specialist called a perinatologist yesterday for a second opinion on what appears to be a short cervex. I guess that my cervex is supposed to be measuring at 2.5 cm when it is currently measuring at 1.9 cm. So I was refered to this specialist by my Dr. for a second opinion. The second opinion Dr. said that if I don't want to have a very premature baby then she needs to sew up my cervex so that it won't get any shorter. Because if it were to get any shorter I could go into labor extrememly early. I am a little nervous about the procedure not for myself but for the growing baby inside of me. I just don't want anything to go wrong because this is usually a procedure that is done pretty early in a pregnancy...and I am more than half way through this pregnancy. The Dr. says it is a very low risk procedure however I may have to stay overnight in the hospital after the procedure for some monitoring. However, I'm not anticipating that that will actually have to happen...I hope that I am right! As far as recovery, I think I just shouldn't lift heavy things...like my 32 lb 2 year old! I go in for the procedure on Sunday morning in the labor and delivery department at Renown so I will keep you all posted on how things go from there!
