A timely stitch can spare couples from profound heartache caused by recurrent pregnancy losses.

This is the cervical cerclage ‼️

Do you or someone you know keep having unexplained recurrent pregnancy losses before 9 months? This might be the difference between continued mourning for babies born prematurely and holding a mature baby in your arms 💝

Ask your doctor about it, as it may be what you need to hold your rainbow 🌈 baby 🍼💖
