Political Correctness is Not Reserved for Large Families

I called my doctor’s office because I was experiencing many symptoms that may or may not be associated with pre-term labor. They were noticeable enough to stop me throughout the day, so after conferring with fellow Momfolk, I figured a call to the doctor was in order. I hate calling the doctor and this is exactly why:
“Is this your first baby?
“No, number 7.”
“Oh, well that’s what your problem is! Everything down there is shot.
“Um, oh”
“Yeah, Hon’, it’s done, you have no muscle tone left. You’re all used up.
“Oh, well, um…”
“There’s nothing. Nothing to hold anything up.”
“OK, then. I got it. Glad there’s no cause for concern.”
I kind of had a feeling that what i was experiencing was heightened sensitivity due to being a grand multipara, and I was relieved that is all it was, but dang. There has to be a more politically or medically correct way of stating things. Goodness.
