I really feel you on this, it can be such a worrying and emotional time when you need this procedure done. I don't have personal experience with cerclage but I think it would really help to have a good heart-to-heart with your gynae about what to expect for recovery and pain management, since every mum's experience can be a little different. Please don't go through this alone, reach out to your care team at KKH or your hospital and ask them all your questions, no matter how small they seem.
