Ananya Roy, a 32-year-old marketing manager,...
Ananya Roy, a 32-year-old marketing manager, had a history of two second-trimester miscarriages. During her third pregnancy, she was diagnosed with cervical insufficiency. At 14 weeks, an obstetrician performed a cervical cerclage (stitch) to help her cervix stay closed. Ananya carried her baby to 36 weeks, a milestone she never thought she'd reach. Her doctor, Dr. Sharma, recommended removing the stitch now to allow for a natural onset of labour. The removal in the clinic was quick, involving mild discomfort and a sense of pressure. Within 48 hours, Ananya went into spontaneous labour and delivered a healthy baby girl. Emotionally, the stitch had been a symbol of both fear and hope; its removal was a profound moment of relief and triumph, marking the successful end of a long, anxious journey.
