Brief Answer:
Can have a mild spotting.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The best time for the cervical cerclage procedure is in the third month (12-14 weeks) of pregnancy. When a woman’s cervix is weak she is more likely to have a baby born prematurely because the cervix shortens or opens too early. In order to prevent premature labor, this procedure is done.

A cerclage is used to prevent the early changes in a woman’s cervix, thus preventing premature labor. After this procedure you might have a mild spotting for a few days. Just be careful to avoid any heavy work , constipation, cough or climbing stairs or exercise.
Do get the stitch removed at full term for a normal delivery.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
