I'm new (ish) ...cone biopsy
Hiya,
Well i have been registered on her for about 8 months...we actually got pregnant but had a miscarriage in March! We are now 7 weeks pregnant & looking forward to the arrival of the lo.
I have an appointment to see my Dr on Friday & i just wanted to ask you all if any of you had to have a stitch put in your cervix following a cone biopsy? I had a cone biopsy for cervical cancer last October & now i'm going to have a ''running stitch'' put in my cervix just to hold the pregnancy......as you can imagine i'm sooo worried!!!

I know its worrying and not ideal but at least it will hold bean in safely for a better period of time.
make sure you ask the logistics of what happens when you do go into labour, do you need to get to hosipital early to have it removed or what, better to know these things well in advance!
I think i just need to get exactly in my head what i need to ask the Dr.....i think i get the stitch in quite early on & then it is removed around 37 weeks!! I'm sure they'll keep a close eye on me (i'll make sure they do)
I just keep telling myself that they must do this all the time & plenty of women will go on to have a healthy baby!!!
I'm trying hardest not to get stressed about it all...breathe in, breathe out!
Take a list with you and make sure its all sorted in your head. Good luck with having a long (wouldn't normally wish for that but in your case we will make an exeption) and healthy pregnancy x

Did they advise for you to have a section? or was a vaginal birth always still on the cards?

Yeh, maybe you should just mention as a precaution! I think i'm more nervous about a stitch than pregnancy, childbirth & motherhood ) ha ha!
sorry to butt in, iv got a little boy 6 months old but when i went for a smear after id had him, they found CIN3 i had a cone biopsy done and got the results back to say they had managed to remove it all. The dr did however mention to me that it could (very small chance) cause me to go in to premature labour in any future pregnancies. Im not looking to have another baby for a few years yet but have been thinking about this risk quite a lot lately. I was under the impression that they didnt put a stitch in until they knew that the cervix could not carry a pregnancy to term.... which would mean a chance of losing a baby before they would realise and put the stitch in. So what this long winded post is really asking is... Did your midwife see from your notes that you had had a cone biopsy and deem a stich necessary from the beginning? and has this been the case for you other ladies?
Thanks
