Oh cervix...why have you forsaken me?

As many of you know, I am 5 1/2 months pregnant with baby number four. I have had three preterm labors, two preterm babies( one born 16 weeks early), and one very long hospital stay for bed rest. And, it is starting all over again with this baby. I just don't do things simply. What fun would that be? I like to shake things up every few years, cause great anxiety to myself,throw my household into a tizzy, inconvenience my extended family who has to come and take over with the other children, and drug myself with medicine while I cross my toes, fingers,and eyelashes that the baby doesn't come early. I know strange way to break up the hum drum of normal life. I agree...its getting old. Maybe next time I want a thrill I'll just go to Disney World. My doctor told me yesterday that I should be in the hospital. My cervix is just basically trying to disappear. My dear doctor said that I don't have a traditional "incompetent cervix". He says mine is just "uncooperative". What? Is saying "uncooperative" just more P.C.? I know it is harse to call something "incompetent" , but come on I don't think it will hurt the poor cervix's feelings or cause its self esteem to go down. Let's just call it what it is. What do you do for an uncooperative cervix anyway? When I have a child who is uncooperative there is usually a punishment or time out involved. I don't just sit back and let it continue! Although I have tried, I don't think lecturing the thing will help a bit, but it does make me feel a tiny bit better to yell at it.(It's just hard to explain when I get caught.) I'm going to talk to my doctor about a possible cerclage. A cerclage is when they surgically put a stitch in the cervix to keep it closed. Heck, I'm willing to have anything installed. Bring on the zipper,button, super glue, staples, whatever it takes to keep the silly thing shut. Wouldn't it be cool if Mc Gyver was an OB/GYN? Right there in the office he would have whipped out his duct tape, a shoelace, paperclip, and a gum wrapper and I'd be all set! Everything would be locked up tighter than Fort Knox. That would be great, but it would be pretty hard to explain when it came time for delivery. All kidding aside...if this is one of the crosses I need to bear in life , I will. I have inconvenient pregnancies for sure, but I also have three beautiful children. I thank God for that blessing many times a day. I know many women are not as fortunate. I will continue to pray. I'll pray that my baby makes it to full term, that I don't have to go to the hospital, that I can get the cerclage, and that my incompetent ( yep, I said it ) cervix will get a clue !
