Cervical incompetence/preterm delivey
I wanna know Difference between cervical incompetenve and preterm delivery. I had recently underwent labor pain in 6th month .my doc said cervix is opened so she planned for cervical clercage but couldnot place stiches as Pprom ruptured . And Later I delivered dead baby. Why this happened. Everything was normal till 25th week . loss of mucus plug and Pains started due to cervical incompetence or due to any other reason . If i had not undergone clercage would my baby wt 620 kgs had survived .
Cervical incompetence is a condition in which cervix is shortened and hence may lead to preterm delivery of premature baby, that happened in your case. The treatment for cervical incompetence is cervical cerclage which your gynaecologist tried, but it cannot be done in case of pprom I.e. in case of rupture of membranes. Your treating doctor was right on her part on not doing cervical cerclage after pprom as it is contraindicated in this condition.
Cerclage is intended to be done to avoid preterm delivery and hence it is not wrong to be tried in your case, though it didn't work out quite right in your case.
Regarding survival of such preterm baby, that depends upon the availability of NICU facilities and condition of baby when he or she is born .

Pains could be due to infection or sometimes you can’t find a cause. Due to pains cervix could have opened up and difficult to place stitch also.
Cerclage is not related to 620 g baby survival I think as per information given by you.
