- Supporting pregnancy with multiple gestations: Women who are pregnant with multiple babies are at higher risk of cervical insufficiency and premature delivery. Cervical cerclage can help to support the cervix and prevent premature delivery in these cases.
- Previous cervical surgery: Women who have had previous surgery on the cervix, such as a cone biopsy or loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), may have a weakened cervix that is more prone to opening early. Cervical cerclage can help to support the cervix and prevent premature delivery in these cases.
- Cervical length: A short cervix is also a risk factor for preterm birth. If the cervix is measured to be too short during pregnancy, cervical cerclage can be recommended to prevent the cervix from opening too early.
