PPROM is NOT always prevented. however, you and your partner should avoid smoking. Check for vaginal infection in pregnancy and treat with antibiotics if needed.
In next pregnancy, please do serial TVS from 14 weeks at every 2-3 weeks interval, to see the cervical length. if cervical length is less than 2.5 cm, then only cerclage will be helpful. Otherwise cerclage is NOtTrequired.

Ideal time to consult a doctor is before conception. Then you can plan your pregnancy. You might need cervical circlage in next pregnancy also but it should be earlier this time may be around 14-15 weeks with hormonal support and good USG monitoring.
Next Steps
Consult a gynaecologist for preconcetional counseling.
