Just an oversight on your part I assume but the Dr who replied that you referred to as a "she" that Dr is a "He" Dr Lynn is male. Also you seem to read only what you want to hear. Dr Lynn also stated " As for reassurance for cervical incompetence, it provides some reassurance but not completely". I merely posted my experience because I saw little evidence from you intital reply that you has any experience on the incompetent issue to be advising a women based on your readings that one normal exam and one can relax. I was naive once too. You are so right majority of pregnancies are textbook because that is the way they should be,but the one case you advise not to worry about their symptoms will be your first case as a midwife where that "don't worry" additude backfires.
