Not an expert here but the exam may have stimulated your cervix which could have lead to you loosing your plug but loosing your mucous plug at this stage of pregnancy is normal and could of also just have been a conicedence and is your bodies way of getting ready for labor. It is completely normal and does not mean that labor will happen right away but if you were to start contracting or your water broke you baby should do just fine at 36-39 weeks. I don't think the doctor did anything wrong that caused this. Some internal exams at this stage are more painful because of the high posterior position your cervix may be in. Best wishes for you upcoming delivery.
