I am worried sick. Doctor told me to undergo a procedure called cervical stitching. It seems this will reduce the possibility of pre-term delivery. A suture will be applied to cervix, under anesthesia. It is a safe procedure, she assured me, yet I am very nervous.

Cervical cerclage is done. It was not painful, nothing serious. I was admitted, taken to labor room. Another table was next to me, a lady in labor lying on it. I was put under general anesthesia. (Frankly, I like the feel of drifting off to unconsciousness when the gases are released in my system). When I came to again, I heard a new born cry somewhere. There were conversations. I am not sure if all this was imagined, or real. Anyway, I was kept under observation for a day, in the room, and then discharged. No pain, no irritation whatsoever.
