Hi Michelle,

Unfortunately, information is limited when it comes to possible
links between PA and cerclages. I have found a few sites that
mention a connection. I have talked to my doctor about this but he
said he is not sure if there is a connection...some help he was. I
figured if other women may have had this occur, they may possibly
have some information from their dr's.
This is one of the sites that stated there is a possible connection
between the two.
