I'm 6 months pregnant and my gynecologist mentioned getting a cervical cerclage because I've had previous abortions. I've been having stomach and groin pain. I also had an ASD device closure in October 2020 and am currently taking Ecosprin 75. Do you think it's safe for me to proceed with the cervical cerclage? Could there be any complications I should be aware of?

This procedure can help prevent premature birth and reduce the risk of complications during pregnancy. To help with the pain in your stomach and groin, you can take Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. Since you are already taking Ecosprin 75, continue taking it as prescribed by your doctor to prevent blood clots and improve blood flow to the placenta. Make sure to follow your gynecologist's advice and attend all recommended prenatal check-ups for a safe and healthy pregnancy.

Why do periods change dates?

Periods are dependant on hormones and every month period date may change slightly based on the hormone variations. For this reason, if next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle.
