1st off, I would call whoever is on call for OB and let them know what
is up, if they think you need to be checked at ER or L&D then do so.
What happened with the 21 week delivery? was there preterm labor or
premature rupture of membranes? Also, I would leave the cervical exams
to your OB provider at this point in the game, esp if there is a risk of
something preterm. Let us know what happens
