  • Incomplete Cervix, Cerclage, Pain.

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I am 16 weeks with my 9th pregnancy . I have an incomplete cervix along with past surgeries on my uterus. We have had 3 live births and 5 miscarriages.

    I am wondering how much round ligament pain is normal. I have been in a lot more pain with this baby than with any of my other pregnancies. Do you have any suggestions or thoughts?

    Blessed Be,
    Courtney
