Can Placing A Cervical Cerclage Week 12 And 14 Ensure Full Term Pregnancy?

Hi, I m Padma from Australia. I have had two premature babies, of which the earlier one died. So I had an emergent cerclage done to my cervix with my second baby at week 20. Unfortunately, my cerclage got prolapsed and I went on to delivering my baby at week 27. So my question is, if my doctor plans to place a cerclage between week 12 and 14 of my next pregnancy, is there a bright chance of having a baby at full term?
