How do I know how high my cervical stitch is?

[hopefulmummy]

Hi I have just had a cervical stitch put in last week. I had a little boy last Aug and he died in March. He was born at 24 weeks and as a result of this my consultant decided a stitch was best. They are taking me in at 22/23 weeks for rest and hoping for as long a pregnancy as possible. To those who have gone through this, how far did you get? If I do manage to carry, they will be removing the stitch at 36 weeks and giving me a section at this time.
Some advice please.

sorry hopefulmummy i don't have any advice for you as i haven't had this problem.

hi, i have a stitch as well, i am now 33 weeks, i havent had to have any bed rest although i am limited to what i can do, i know my stitch is quite high as they try to insert it as high as possible for greater effectiveness, i cant tell you how high, as they dont have any way to really explain. But i have a diagram of my stitch placement in my white notes, you could ask your consultant if they have something similar. Good luck, i will answer any other questions you may have.
