Hello doctor! I have an open cervix, I had an IUD inserted and it was removed at 37 weeks. Labor will start between 38 and 40 weeks, but in my case, I had the IUD removed. So doctor, can you tell me if I remove the IUD at 37 weeks of pregnancy, is there a chance of early labor? Or do I have to wait until 40 weeks to give birth? These past few days, I have been feeling a little sick in my stomach and back, I feel more tired and sometimes I have lower abdominal pain. I really hope the doctor can advise me, thank you!

A cervical cerclage is a procedure performed when a woman is at risk of preterm labor. Ideally, the stitches are removed between 12 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. So when are these cervical stitches removed?
