A member asked:

Mucus plug came out no labor yet need doctor visit?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe not...: In general, its not necessary to rush to the hospital or doctor's office if your mucus plug comes out. Its an interesting event but often isn't very helpful or worrisome. However, if you have any bleeding or start contracting it would be a good idea to be seen. Best wishes!
