A member asked:

I'm 16 weeks pregnant and today after peeing and proceeding to wipe my self, i felt something in my vagina, i looked in there with and noticed a white string like thing hanging my my vagina opening. when i touch it it feels like cartilage?

Lost tampon ?: At "16 weeks" of pregnancy, there is additional downward pressure on the upper vagina, which may have moved a tampon left vaginally by accident. See your OB physician for an exam to be certain of the origin of this "string-like material".
