No need for stitch unless cervical length is less than 2.5mm..even if ivf conception with singleton pregnancy..u can follow with cervical length weekly to see if  decrease in length progresses..then it might b considered..

1. *Does cervical length reduce after stitches (cervical cerclage)?* Cervical cerclage is placed to prevent the cervix from shortening or opening prematurely. After the stitch, the cervical length usually *remains stable* or may slightly increase because the procedure supports the cervix and reduces further shortening. Some women may still experience gradual shortening despite the stitch, which is why follow‑up scans are done. 2. *Will there be any impact on my baby due to anaesthesia used during the procedure?* The anaesthesia used for cervical cerclage is typically *local or regional* (e.g., spinal/epidural), which has minimal systemic effect on the fetus.

Hi ya as it is ivf conception and the length is just adequate to be on safer side better go for it ,and the anesthesia given generally doesn't harm the baby as such

Yes it does

Your doctor is your best guide..You can discuss with her if you want to postpone it with regular tracking of cervical length on usg. To know more about cervical stitch watch this video https://youtube.com/shorts/rpUxWma3s1E?feature=share
