For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The stitch(known as a Shirodkar suture) is usually inserted before 3-4 months of pregnancy and where I work the patients are generally kept in overnight, just for monitoring purposes. The procedure itself usually takes no longer than 10-15 minutes.
Any further questions/concerns should be directed to your midwife or GP surgery.
Good luck with your pregnancy.
Hhmmmm. well, I am male, but will answer best I can from what I recall. Our children were both a bit early, but mrs rampart still had to have the stitch. As I recall, she was to avoid lifting heavy things for six weeks following the surgery. I do not recall the weight limit, but it was quite low. She was not in the hospital very long at all.
Other than lifting heavy objects and, er... avoiding romantic advances from me, her daily routine was rather normal.
boobesque, I hope that helped. If I muddied the water, ask more, and I'll phone mrs r and get the straight answer.
Hey boobs, How you doing hun ?
May be totally out here,but.....A friend of mine had 2 premature births...When she was pregnant with her 3rd, The consultant found she had a minor infection that was causing her to go into labour early...
Anyway she was put on medication & baby was born at 38 weeks...Apparently its not common but could be the explanation of many premature labours.
It may be a long shot & I cant fully remember the details but I can contact my friend if you want to know more.x.
soz about the mad post btw been like it all night
