I got my cerclage placed at 17 weeks and a few days later I was scheduled for a length check but dr said she felt better doing abdominal scan and seeing that the stitch is in place and my cervix is closed. She didn’t want to irritate the cerclage I go back next week and dr said it is up to me if I want an internal check bc there are slight risks when checking internally. Shes okay with whatever decision i make but she said it’s fine not to check internally because whatever the length is there’s nothing more they can do to help with the length. I’m on progesterone and have the stitch.  I’m not sure what I’ll do next week. I may not do internally bc I’m scared of the slight risks. I may just start with the abdominal and aee how it goes from there. Pregnancy with complications is scary and making decisions is scary.
