History preterm birth natural ideas to help??

my fourth births were all premature spontaneous births as the doctors are calling it and I have been given no reason as to why.

My cervical lengths have always been check and there are no changed until suddenly baby wants to come out.... 4 hours, 9 hours, 20 minutes and 16 hours these are from time admitered to birth of baby in order.... First go round doctors told me the first is the longest and then they get shorter but mine are all over the place and 34 weeks, 35 weeks, 32 weeks, 32 weeks... That seems to be the wrong direction...

I have three babies from those birth (first one didn't make it past 56 days) and I really would like to do anything and everything I can to keep this baby cooking a bit longer hoping for full term...

I am on progesterone shots (p17) and motor weed by high risk OB and Maternal feral Medicine specialist but I am looking for natural way to help any one know anything?? From wives tales, foods, anything let me know your thoughts

    It's not "natural" but I have a cerclage because we don't know if my last delivery at 23 weeks was because of preterm labor or the craziest incompetent cervix ever. I also take p17.
    My MFM is not a big fan of full bedrest, and it will be our last resort, but I do have a lift restriction of 15-20lbs.
    The cerclage comes with its own set of risks- and it wasn't an easy choice to make. In fact, I probably won't do one as early next time, but it has helped with some of my anxiety.

    I am not sure if your auto correct changed a few words but you may want to look at your last paragraph, first line.

    I do not know of any home remedies or secrets to keep babies cooking longer. Have you been put on bed rest during your last trimester any? That's the only thing I can think of but it still is no guarantee. What does your doctor say?

    Maybe see a homeopathic doctor? This isn't really my territory, but I'd like to help.

    There is evidence that high doses of vitamin d3 (4000iu/ day) are associated with lower risk of preeclampsia, GD, and premature birth. However, I wouldn't recommend starting anything without talking to your provider first.

    @hplunkett2883 haha it was supposed to be monitored by high risk OB and maternal fetal medicine... Last time they told me no work and no school no lifting over 10 lbs and was on bed rest for sub chorionic hematoma until it absorbed itself... Then went into preterm labor 32 weeks song was on bed rest for a week and they couldn't stop her she came at 32 weeks . Now with new doctors (thanks to military) Going over all my history they are playing it by ear I guess... I am able to go to school now. they are considering bed rest and cerclage later on but no evidence of incompetence cervix they just loosen when baby is ready problem is that's always too early (no warning signs by body has given to prevent it)
