A member asked:
Can an internal digital cervix exam at 28wks pregnancy cause mucus plug to come away? worried after obgyn did internal due to bleeding. cervix closed.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The mucus plug is produced more or less continuously and you would not loose it if your cervix is closed.An internal exam can be necessary to evaluate bleeding. Sounds like everything is good.
