Hi, Ida

I just wanted to share my experience with you since our cases are

very similar. I had my entire cervix removed vaginally from a

procedure called a LEAP it is basically a cone biopsy just called

something else I suppose. I had a normal healthy preg. and child

previous to the surgery. Since then I have lost three children.

All three loses have been different and the last one looking like it

was my cervix. I was scared to death to have the ab done, but when

I found out I was preg I began to find direction as to what to do.

I am now 17 1/2 weeks preg and had the ab placed 3 1/2 weeks ago.

It really was not bad at all I almost feel normal now except for

normal pregnancy stuff. I am on no bed rest just taking it easy. I

will however say that most of the women here were put on bed rest so

that depends on your case and the doctor I guess. I am willing to

go down if he says so. It is worth it in the end. I am doing well

so far. I have an appointment tomorrow so I will find out more.

All of the women here are wonderful and will give you lots of

information and support. If you want to talk you can call me

anytime. Good luck,

learn what I am doing. I found out about Abbyloopers from Taryn. My

name is Ida and I live in Pittsburgh. I am very interested in

learning more about the abdominal cerclage. I'd like to educate

myself about it and also locate doctors in my area that peform the

surgery. I had a cone biopsy done on Valentine's Day this year and

most of my cervix was taken. In order to have a future pregnancy an

abdominal cerclage is a possibility for a successful pregnancy. I

have a 22 month old daughter that I am staying at home raising. I

need all the details about the abdominal cerclage and pregnancy

there after in order to make some decisions. I so desperately want

to have another child. I just don't know how complicated it can be

and I don't have a great deal of help here. I look forward to

getting acquainted with other women that can help me learn more

about the abdominal cerclage.
