I haven't heard of this before -- but it would be interesting to
find out about it. Have you talked to your doc about the possible
link between the cerclage and abruption? Or have you tried an
internet search on the subject? It is so hard because sometimes
there is so much conflicting information out there about PA. I hope
you are able to get the answers to your questions.
Thank you to your sweet reply to all of the posts. I am glad we
have such a great support group here. When I started this board a
few years ago -- it was mainly out of my quest to get answers about
PA. It really turned into a desire to reach out to other women and
form friendships. I hope you find that in this group.
love,
michelle B.
