Bone to Pick
Who the hell coined the medical term "incompetent cervix"? Really? We have been mourning the death of our son for two weeks and now with our follow-up appointment since our pre-term labor and delivery, we have more to mourn. As wonderful and compassionate as our doctor was during our visit, it did nothing but bring up new hurt and cause the old (but not really) to resurface. I feel like my body killed our Ethan. Oh, I am so pissed at my body. I feel defective. And I truly and deeply dislike the blasted term named above!

Ugh. They should call in unqualified, immature or out-of-shape cervix. I know that was difficult, but at least there is something they can do about that to prevent it. Sometimes I wonder if the people who coined certain medical terms ever stopped and thought about what they insinuated. Still sending love your way Momma. You and Matt are amazing.
I totally agree. It makes me cringe to even say it. Ugh. But your body is not "defective", it just keeps time differently. I think you have a perfectly and wonderfully made body crafted by my favorite artist in the universe.
