mrollins, This does not sound like incompetent cervix. If the pregnancy was healthy, it shouldn't have mattered if you worked 3 24 hour shifts in a row, followed by a shopping trip at the Megamall that lasted 5 days. I would suggest sitting down with your physician to discuss recurrent pregnancy loss. Most physicians will consider investigating further when a patient has lost her second pregnancy to miscarriage... Lynn
