How much bed rest should you have after a cervical cerclage?
Generally they tell you to rest for about a week, but it varies from woman to woman & doctor to doctor. I personally had a cerclage put in, went off bed rest, after a few weeks it began to slip out I went into labor & had to have a second cerclage placed in emerency surgery to save my son. I then spent three weeks in the hospital and the remainder of my pregnancy on strict bed rest.....only able to shower every other day and only allowed to get out of bed & sit in a chair for 20 min per day. This went on for 16 weeks!

Sewing up the cervix keeping the baby in place long is it pain ful or harmful to the baby?
When a woman's cervix is weak (sometimes called an incompetent cervix) she is more likely to have a baby born prematurely because the cervix shortens or opens too early. In order to prevent premature labor, a woman's doctor may recommend a cervical cerclage. A cerclage is used to prevent these early changes in a woman's cervix, thus preventing premature labor. A closed cervix helps a developing baby stay inside the uterus until the mother reaches 37-38 weeks of pregnancy. Treatment for cervical incompetence is a surgical procedure called cervical cerclage, in which the cervix is sewn closed during pregnancy. The cervix is the lowest part of the uterus and extends into the vagina.

Can a ovarian cyst cause bleeding when pregnant?
tough one... Atypical cells on the cervix wont hurt the fetus, however if you've had treatment already for cervical cancer that involved surgery...yes it can cause miscarriage. A cone resection (the surgery) takes part of your cervix out, you lose the part of your body which keeps the baby in. this isn't a definite for miscarriage, you may be able to have your doctor go in and reinforce the opening (called a cerclage). Another thing to think of is that cervical cancer needs to be treated, and quickly. your treatment options may interfere with keeping your baby
