I decided to have a cerclage done at about 20 weeks when my cervical length reached 3 cm. I was very worried and did not want to lose the child at any cost. My doc had told me that sometimes the water just breaks if the cervix starts thinning down. The other option she gave me was complete bed rest which is also not a guarantee that the cervix will not thin down. When i researched about cerclage, i came to know that it is done pretty early say 13 to 16 weeks for women with incompetent cervix which is only possible for second time moms. After the cerclage, my cervix stayed at 3 till 37 weeks and i could move around freely at least and was not tied to the bed.

Good luck to you, let us know what your OB thinks about it...and btw are you still working...
