Re: T-shaped uterus and pregnant - cerclage question

[Guest guest]

I wanted to add a note to this. In my message I implied that a

cerclage is necessary for all T-shaped uterus pregnancies. I

apologize if this was misleading. Obviously it is not always

necessary to have a cerclage as we know some on this board who did

not need it during their pregnancy. I just saw my new ObGyn who

seems more knowledgable on this subject than any other doctor I've

seen and he said that a cerclage is not usually put in during the

first pregnancy. It is usually only done after the person has

experienced a miscarriage due to incompetent cervix. Incompetent

cervix is common for those with T-shaped uterus, but maybe not

everyone who has a T-shaped uterus has an incompetent cervix. He

did also suggest that if the cervix was dialating premeturely that a

cerclage would be put it. He said that the reason it is not done

unless absolutely necessary is that there is a risk of scarring to

the uterus.

Does anyone know anything about this? What are the risks of

scarring to the uterus compared to the risks of miscarrying with a T-

shaped uterus (or any other MA for that matter)?

Thank you for any feedback on this.
