I'm wondering if it's necessary to have a stitch again during my second pregnancy. I had one during my first pregnancy but I don't think I have cervical incompetence. The first time, I didn't really have a choice, but now I'm considering not having it. Could there be any risks to my baby if I skip it this time? I'm also concerned if the previous stitch might have caused any damage to my cervix.

The need for a cerclage in your second pregnancy depends on whether you have risk factors like cervical insufficiency or a history of preterm birth. If you dont have those issues, a cerclage may not be necessary. Speak with your doctor to assess the need for monitoring

I'm a little worried and curious if I might get pregnant. The doctor prescribed Siphene for 5 days, which I've already taken. We had a relationship after that. Do you think there's a chance I could be pregnant?

Taking Siphene (Clomiphene) for 5 days can help stimulate ovulation, increasing the chances of pregnancy if you have had intercourse during your fertile window. However, pregnancy is not guaranteed, as it depends on various factors like egg quality, sperm health, and timing. Keep monitoring your cycle and consult your doctor for further guidance.
