cervical stitch for twins

[samdog]

Has anyone had a cervical stitch whilst pregnant with twins due to a previous mid trimester loss of twins?

I've had a cervical stitch in two of my pregnancies after losing a baby at 22 weeks. I was advised to have a general anaesthetic by my lovely consultant as they turn you pretty much upside down (so the amniotic sac is inclined away from the stitch). I was in for just one night on both occasions. I found I was much better able to enjoy my pregnancies after the stitch as I felt more secure.

Congratulations on your pregnancy by the way.

Which hospital did you have your stitch in?

Hi samdog
I had the stitch for my DS after losing my first at 17 weeks, but it was a single pregnancy in both cases. However I can tell you it worked very well and I now have a beautiful baby boy. The op was done under general anaesthetic, I was only in for the day. I had some pain down below for a week, apparently I was unlucky as 95% of women don't feel any pain! My op was done at Queen Charlotte hospital in London by Professor Bennett. Congratulations and good luck with everything!
