In this episode, Lisa opens up about the cervical cerclage—or “stitch”—she received at 24 weeks pregnant to help prevent preterm labor. While the procedure was medically “simple” and technically successful, the emotional experience left her feeling raw, vulnerable, and deeply shaken.
Lisa shares her story to help you feel more empowered, choice-full, and autonomous—no matter what your pregnancy journey looks like.
She talks about:
- What a cervical cerclage is, and what’s considered normal (and not) for a cervix
- How she’s making peace with a medical-intervention-heavy pregnancy
- How she stayed connected to herself during moments of dissociation
- The challenge of maintaining autonomy when you're treated as just a “patient”
