A blog about the healthcare system, and culture, in Thailand in relation to getting pregnant, having a baby, pregnancy loss and miscarriage specifically here in The Land of Smiles. I take the most likely of 'healthcare and lifestyle events', research them in the context of the western world and compare them to Thailand experiences. I hope this helps other future families, empowers expats, and enables better conversations with doctors. GET INFORMED, GIVE TRUE CONSENT!

Knocked up...now what? Am I Incompetent?
Or to be more precise is my cervix incompetent?
Just over a month ago, when I was 14 weeks pregnant, my doctor dropped into conversation that she wanted to test if my cervix was ok, it might be opening, and she might need to put some stitches in it.
That was pretty much what she said, no more explanation, very matter of fact, and she made it sound perfectly normal.
