when i was pregnant with my daughter ( 10 yrs ago) i  started dialating  at 12 weeks... i was put on a bed rest  and then when i turned 16 weeks preggo i had stitches  on cervix and i was on 3 kinds of medications and bed rest as well..no heavy lifting... nothing heavier then 2 pounds... carried full term... and yes u can have baby again.. because after this pregnancy i had a son who is 4 years old now...  and i havent had  any problems while preggo with him...  didnt dialate ,didnt even have to have stiches or anything... i actually carried 8 days past my due date this time and dr stripped my membranes and thats what started my labor.dont get discouraged.... all the best!!!! and sorry about your mc.

Dear joseteena - I am sorry to hear about your loss. As an infertility specialist, pregnancy losses at 22 weeks are not really in our field of expertise. May I suggest that you see a maternal fetal medicine (high risk Obstetrician) subspecialist doctor to discuss treatments for you when you next get pregnant? They may recommend a stitch placed in the cervix once you are pregnant, and also perhaps progesterone injections once you are pregnant.
