Can you update after birth, if you ended up with failure to progress and had to have a csection? Wondering if women who have had LEEP and other procedures that freeze parts of the cervix have the same outcome with failure to progress leading to a csection.


I'm still several months out but I will try to remember. The biggest concern they've expressed to me post-LEEP is the potential for cervical incompetence. It just meant I had to go for additional ultrasounds from 16 weeks until viability at 24 weeks to measure my cervix.


PP here. I delivered and wanted to update.

My water ended up breaking at exactly 36 weeks (PPROM), I was scheduled for induction at 37 weeks due to development of gestational hypertension at 35 weeks. My labor progressed naturally for about 16 hours until I started showing signs of preeclampsia at which time I was induced. I was ready to push 9 hours after induction and baby was born within 1.5 hours. Despite being 36 weeks, my baby was born healthy and didn’t require
NICU time.

I did ask my doctors about my water breaking and they said it is not unusual in LEEP recipients to have their waters break a little early. But the development of hypertension could have been a factor as well.

Hope this eases your mind in some way.



question for you off topic- how did they discover the GD at 35 weeks? I had my test at 28 weeks, failed the 1 hour, but past the 3 hour with flying colors. I always wonder if it could creep up and wondering how the dr would even go about knowing if the testing has already been done. Thanks!!

I should add that my water took forever to break and I was fully dilated. I was supplementing with chlorophyll which I later heard helps to keep it intact.

I had a laser ablation of the cervix. My gyn at the time stated that he thought it was the right approach for making sure of no cervical length issues during pregnancy. I went on to have 3 full-term pregnancies after that. From what I understand, the laser ablation's not always the most "current" standard of care because it doesn't allow for analysis of tissue by pathology. However, I've not had any additional issues since then. I was at Capital Women's Care, DC at the time.

I had an abnormal pap + LEEP a few years before conception/delivery. Like a PP, my water broke at 36 weeks. Baby was breech so I needed a c-section. Everyone was healthy & happy. Also like PP, i had lots of monitoring for cervical length during pregnancy. Dr Osmun was my OBGYN -- he is with Bloom OBGYN.

I had the same conern and my high risk dr told me its very rare for that to happen from a leep. Its more so from Cone biposies.

Recommendation for an OBGYN who is highly skilled in managing abnormal pap/HPV during pregnancy? Sometimes pregnancy can create abnormal results so its important to work with someone who is very experienced at interpreting the results. Looking to switch OBGYN.
