Hi Dr,
I know most of dr wont reply without Connect but I really need help for most of dr.
We as couple are devastated after losing Healthy 19th Week baby.
Every Blood test, NT scan, Double marker, 3D scan, Triple marker — All were normal
Baby weigh was around 361gm in 19th week. Heartbeat was fine
Then why did it happen? Why did we loose baby dur to cervix incompetency ?
My Wife BMI was 36 around when we started pregancy.
As husband , Mine parameter of semen was normal
Then Why?
Will Stiching really help?
Was weight of mine wife caused this …..
Please suggest something. I beg
Cervical incompetence is unrelated to weight of the patient
This can recurr
You will require stitch in the subsequent pregnancy if the length of the cervix is less than 2.5 cm and the diameter of the internal is is more than 8 millimeters at 12 weeks

When all scans and tests are normal and loss happens in the second trimester, the most likely cause is cervical incompetence. In this condition, the cervix opens painlessly without contractions, and it cannot be predicted by routine tests. Baby growth, heartbeat, semen parameters, and genetic tests can all be normal.
Regarding weight:
High BMI is not a direct cause of cervical incompetence. Please do not blame yourselves.
Will stitching (cerclage) help?
Yes. In future pregnancy, a prophylactic cervical stitch at 12–14 weeks along with close monitoring significantly reduces the risk of recurrence and has good success rates.
Next steps:
• Pre-pregnancy counseling with a gynecologist
• Weight optimization (helpful but not mandatory)
• Early booking in next pregnancy and planned cerclage
With proper care, many couples go on to have a healthy baby.
