Thank you for >any info. the cervix you described is a multiparous cervix which does not mean you will deliver early,since you have history of postdate pregnancy,ask the doctor about the position of the cervix if it is posterior there is no fear for preterm labour in your condition, beside try to monitor the uterine contractions,frequency,,duration and intensity.
