My miscarriages

Published by

I am 25 years old. I got married about 5 years ago. Since then, I have had two miscarriages mostly when my pregnancy is over 5 months. My doctor said that the entrance to my womb is very weak and I may need a surgical operation to correct this. I was also told that this is very common among those who have had  abortions  before. Since I never had an abortion before, I don’t know why the entrance to my womb should be weak.

Weakness of the entrance to the womb doesn’t have to be caused by frequent abortions. It could be the way the womb was formed. What happens in your case is that due to the weakness of the entrance to the womb (cervical Incompetence) your womb finds it difficult to hold the body once it grows up to a certain size and weight. The doctor will therefore need to admit you in the hospital and tie the entrance of the womb with a nylon suture (shirodkar) which will then be removed once it is confirmed that your baby is mature enough to be born. It is a minor operation which is routinely done in hospitals for patients with your kind of problem.
