Hi lizziedripping just thought i would add when i had my stitch removed with megan it was quite simple they do it in labour ward in a room no spinal they offer gas and air if needed though i didnt use it and didnt feel pain at all though maybe some others do took like 5 mins to remove on normal bed in room and then stayed for half an hour to monitor me and baby then went home i didnt go into labour until 2 weeks later just thought id let you know how it was done for me well done rensben and ellahstruts on getting so far you to lizziedripping you will all be soon holding happy healthy babies xxx
Hi Selina - thanks for your reply, but I suspect you may have had a macdonald stitch which is removed in an ordinary room. I have a shirodkar which is stitched to my bladder and vaginal wall and is much higher up the cervix, so it more tricky to remove.
As it happens, I went for a 34 week scan yesterday, and the leading twin is still breech so they have to do a ceasarean. I'm booked in for 26th APril. When you have a section they don't remove the stitch until then, so it's not an issue any more.
I did find out that removing a shirodkar involves a spinal and being in theatre, so I'm glad that that hasn't now got to happen. I'd have been really worried it would trigger labour

Much love x
