has anyone here ever had a cervical stitch?

[boobesque]

I have one and know 3 other people with them, my awful consultant wants mine removed at 38 weeks, i feel this is far to late on as if i go into spotaneous labour it could cause permanent damage to my cervix. My friends (in other areas) are all having theirs removed at 36 weeks.
If you or someone you know has had a stitch, what gestation was it removed?
thanks

Hey hon, sorry I dont know but cant you explain your fears to your doctor?
Hope everything goes fabulously for you hon x x x (I'm sure it will, ) How long to go now before our baby arrives? (I'm soooo excited)

hi hun, seeing a new consultant on tuesday, so hope she will be better than the other one!
i am 29+3 now, so really it depends when the stitch is removed as to when she makes her arrival lol
how are you?

I'm good thank (hate this heat though) Glad things are going well, say hi to your men from me and "keep our babbie all safe and warm for us" :-) x x

baby is safe for now, gave us a scare last weekend though, i was very stressed as i had to have a glucose test and steroids int he same day, lots of needles er! Anyway she was a little quiet, but i wasnt too worried, then all saturday she was not as active still, so sunday morning i went in after having no movement for 5 hours, took a while to get the heartbeat, me and barry were beside ourselves, but they eventually found it, within 10 minutes i had relaxed and she started booting me again, stayed on monitor for an hour and went home! She has been her usual active self since!
the heat is awful isnt it, i am suffering i tell ya!

Hi, I had 5 stitches (emergency op) at 17 weeks and lasted till 28 weeks. My waters broke and my stupid doctor wouldn't come in any hurry so I laboured for 3 hours with the stitches in. It hurt a lot but no damage was done.

I guess if you have only one stitch in it will only take a few moments to remove if you go into labour before you are due to have it removed.
