My sister in law had an incompetent cervix and lost her baby at 4 months. She received the best of care with no physical danger.

I don't know the specifics of her treatment; I do know she became pregnant again and her doctors immediately sutured her cervix to prevent another miscarriage.

Sweet Emilee is 11. If my SIL had been treated the same way as this woman, she would not have her beautiful daughter. In fact, she might not have survived the miscarriage.
