Hello Everyone, rarely post but a long term reader. I have so many questions but don’t see my consultant till middle of June so I thought I’d ask on here as googles been no help. I had a cervical cerclage placed 10 days ago and although I am and have been back to all activities (bare sex swimming and baths) since day 2 of having it placed I am still feeling a lot of pain and can feel it’s there, I have a very active almost 2 year old so rest isn’t really an option lol if anyone could answer any of my questions it would be so lovely and appreciated
- Is it normal to feel that the stitch is there? I have some bruising type pain on my stomach which I feel if I touch my stomach, I almost feel aware there’s like almost a ball feeling in my cervix
- is it normal to need to see so much since having it placed I’m constantly weeing
- when is the stitch removed and is it painful to be removed?
- does the stitch cause any long term complications like scarring in the cervix. Ngl I am worried I may end up with scars up there. Will it impact sex life longer term?
thank you so much for any answers in advance. Feeling very alone with this as I wasn’t prepared for it at all the hospital forgot to send my referral to the pre term clinic till a week before they discharge you and I was only seen 5 days before I had the operation as they didn’t realise I had an incomplete cervix till then and the operation was performed 2 days before my cut off point to have it.
