They will remove the cerclage once you are near term unless they are planning a C section. A cerclage alone is not a reason to be sectioned, so they will let you deliver vaginally unless there is another reason not to do so. An incompetent cervix is not a damaged one, but an anatomical abnormality and you will mostly likely need a cerclage w/any subsequent pregnancies. This is usually a successful procedure if it's done before much cervical dilation occurs, which shouldn't be an issue since your physician will be aware of your history. Hope this helps! Good luck and congratulations!
