I have been told that I will need to get an abdominal cerclage the next time I get pregnant also.  I have lost 3 pregnancys at 23 weeks due to an incompetent cervix.  I am very interested in talking with anyone that has had the same condition to offer my support and understanding.  I would also like to talk with someone that has had the procedure to get a better understanding of what I can expect.  I can be reached at Chesty1505@aol.com.
