Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Strings : It's normal to feel strings since they hang out if the cervix at the back of the vagina. You should not feel plastic or anything sharp. Expulsion risk is 1/1760 so rare but not impossible. I'm sure your doc would be happy to verify its in place for you.
