A member asked:

Could the obgyn tell if your mucus plug came out just by getting a checkup?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wha did your ONGYN s: Say? A cervix check -starting at 37 weeks or sooner if there is an issue can tell if there is still mucus or not , sometimes the plug comes out all at once sometimes over a number of days really does not mean much at term as u can go into labor 1 day or 3weeks after losing the plug.
