Answer
"PV" in the context of pregnancy typically refers to a pervaginal examination, a routine part of prenatal care. During a pervaginal exam, your healthcare provider will use a gloved finger to check your cervix and uterus. This examination helps assess cervical dilation, consistency, and position, which is important to monitor for the progression of labor. Your doctor will use this assessment to determine the stage and progress of labor.
A pervaginal exam also helps to assess the baby's position and the condition of the cervix, which is important in labor. Any concerns or questions about the procedure should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
