Booked for preventive cerclage on Friday.. what to expect and prepare?

Hi, I am 13 weeks and due to previous mid term loss my doctors have booked me for a preventive cerclage on Friday. Please let me know how to prepare .. I mean what all I need to carry to hospital and how everything goes?

If given a choice I would prefer a night stay in hospital for my peace of mind and I live on 3rd floor with no lift, so I will get some time before using stairs.

Please share your experiences. TA

How did you ask your doc to recommend WFH for rest of pregnancy?

Hi, I am 12w4d I have been WFH since week 5 due to bleeding, as my GP was giving 2 weeks wfh recommendations, one after another its been like 2 months almost. I have history of 20w loss last year, now I have my next appointment with mfm on 11th of June and a scan on 10th June. In my last pregnancy my doc said I will need cerclage next time but as I have moved to sydney, I don't know dr.s will give cerclage or will opt track and see approach, in either case I don't wanna go office as it requires almost 3.5 hrs of travel daily.

What should I say to mfm to get such letter, at last appointment when I asked her, she said I don't know if we issue such letter blah blah , then I showed my GPs letter and she copied the same for 2 weeks .

Anyone been through this or got such wfh recommendation for rest of the term ?

Hi, I have history of high risk pregnancy . I am 7 w2d pregnant.

At 6w6d I noticed some brown clots and went for scan, fhr was 130 and baby was 6w5d which relieved my anxiety.

After 2 days, I again noticed clots, they were bigger and kept coming out for whole night whenever I wiped. All of my pregnancy symptoms are present. Hospital has asked me to repeat scan as the emergency doc could not see FHR with his basic ultrasound machine. He said that he isn't a sonographer and can do it from outside so he is not very sure about result.

Now the clots are gone again, in my last scan at 6w5d they said I have a fibroid of 1mm and fluid in my cervix .

Anyone faced this or has any idea what's happening?

Hi , I am new to sydney , My previous 3 pregnancies were high risk only 1 live birth , 1 mid term loss due to IC , this tym again I'm spotting and other previous symptoms my old gyneac said I need higher doses of progesterone and an aspirin from starting , which my gp is reluctant to give and I can't find a way to meet gynea in public hospital , though my gp has referred me in the beginning but westmead hospital isn't interested in any of my history , and isn't giving me appointments . I am 7 weeks , keeping all this in mind , I am not sure , they will give me cerclage or not . I don't hv private insurance , can I parellaly consult a private doc get the cerclage if I will make to that point hopefully, and continue rest of treatment in public ... anyone has idea on this? I can't afford a full high risk pregnancy private cost .
