And they all say not that long but does that mean hours days weeks

Hi skysmom, congratulations on your pregnancy, but take it from your screen name, you already have one? You will receive some excellent advise here but in the meantime here is a website that will describe your procedure. The website, as far as I can gather, doesn't really say how long you have to wait:

www.webmd.com/.../cervical-cerclage-to-prevent-preterm-delivery

If you can't access it, it can be found in Google under 'cerclage'.
