Please only respond if you have experience of this. I was admitted yesterday after check showed an open cervix. This is was to be my miracle baby after 4ivf tries and 1mmc. I have been offered a ‘rescue cervical stitch’ but with grave warnings that the procedure itself is very difficult & could cause rupture and infection meaning immediate miscarriage. If it worked though could help maintain pregnancy for a few extra precious weeks that could make a massive difference to outcomes. Other option is to wait, which could be hours or days or weeks as well. Not sure if i would regret more potentially doing something harmful or doing nothing if things dont work out. Has anyone been in this situation? Please please tell me what you decided and what happened? We have to decide tonight and i am desperate. No judgment from me just desperation.

I'm sorry for your loss, I can't even begin to imagine how devastated you both must be. Be kind to yourself during the grieving process. Big hugs.

I am so very sorry. There are no words to describe this feeling. I know the heartbreak - we lost our twins at 23 weeks. No real reason was ever found - they were perfect.

I don't know if you're still looking at this thread, but I just wanted to let you know that there are a group of us who have been through stillbirth and are now TTC again. I know you are probably not thinking about ttc, but we have all been through something similar and I have found it useful to talk to people who understand.

And obviously feel free to PM me if you would like. I lost the twins at Christmas and so it is still very recent, but I have experience of a lot of the things that come after the event.
